It's pretty hard to develop such a test Jimmy. Most people can figure out right away what is being looked for and how to answer in order to fit the desired profile and eschew the undesirable traits.
Psychopaths/Sociopaths are usually continually amazed that it is so easy to put people on. If you ever get the chance, watch the movie American Psycho.
I love that movie. And the book. And the song.

Sure seems like cops are killing a lot more people than say 10-20 years ago. What up with that?
I read a statistic recently that cops in the US kill more Americans in a few months than have all the cops in Great Britain killed Brits in the last one hundred years. Can't vouch for its accuracy, though.
Pretty sure the United States has been a more violent place ever since there was a United States. And that's how I like it.

In the frontiers, for sure, but even that was overstated for the sake of sensationalism. When everyone is carrying guns, and don't worry too much about being arrested for legitimate self-defense, bad guys tend to exercise a great deal of self-restraint.

I don't know where you find these greg, had me in tears. I see my family in there, and my wife's. I had to call her in. One of those guys on a horse in there is the spitting image of her dead son.

I'm pretty GD sure the frontiers never held a candle to the slums of Philly, New York and Boston.

The popularity of dime novels in the late 1800's greatly exaggerated the bloodshed in the west. A lot of our 'history' was manufactured by writers looking to sell a book or a story. For example - you might be familiar with Nez Perce Chief Joseph's famous surrender speech when he said "From where the sun now stands, I will fight no more forever". Fake. That was written by an army major for an article he wrote for Harpers magazine.

So, we still don't know what went down--just how it started and how it ended. Until someone fills in the blanks, it's just speculation for your own entertainment.

Some days it takes most of the day for me to do practically nothing...

Here's some interesting statistics. Traditionally, about 2/3 of all LEO's killed feloniously were in the South. In 2014, for the first time ever, the blue states are killing cops at a far greater pace. I guess Black Lives Matter is working.
_____
In 2013, 27 law enforcement officers died from injuries incurred in the line of duty during felonious incidents. Of the officers feloniously killed, 16 were employed by city police departments, including 4 who were members of law enforcement agencies in cities with 250,000 or more inhabitants. Line-of-duty deaths occurred in 16 states. By region, 15 officers were feloniously killed in the South, 6 officers in the West, 4 officers in the Midwest, and 2 officers in the Northeast. (UCR)
(2014) Preliminary statistics released today by the FBI show that 51 law enforcement officers were feloniously killed in the line of duty in 2014. This is an increase of almost 89 percent when compared to the 27 officers killed in 2013. (Note: From 1980–2014, an average of 64 law enforcement officers have been feloniously killed per year. The 2013 total, 27, was the lowest during this 35-year period.) By region, 17 officers died as a result of criminal acts that occurred in the South, 14 officers in the West, eight officers in the Midwest, eight in the Northeast, and four in Puerto Rico. (UCR)
The only thing worse than a liberal is a liberal that thinks they're a conservative.

You have a point, but that would clear out pretty fast, I bet, if folks in those places could carry and weren't worried about the cops if they had to shoot someone in self defense. What we have is a system whereby the bad guys are made to feel safe from all but the police, and since the police cannot be everywhere, or even close to it, crime tends to run rampant in such places. The crooks rule the streets.
