Liquid validity
I assume nothing, I googled it insteadSome people are assuming that because this company is posting on t2w that the focus is on traders.
OFTV is trawling on other non-trading web sites for candidates.
The other possible assumption, as yet un-articulated, is that it will be a typical TV hatchet job suggesting many traders are psychopaths. This sub-conscious assumption is created by the rather unscientific remark, "He wants to prove his point by meeting people like YOU and finding out what makes you tick."
Apart from trading, psychology was the only other profession targeted with forum posts that I found.

Still think I'm assuming things?
I know its not solely aimed at traders.
There is certainly evidence to suggest the research team have preconceptions
about psychopathic traits being advantageous in trading.
Thats why I think there is an element of confirmation bias in play.
Thats also why I gave the examples of well known traders, as I personally
think the exact opposite is more common - meticulous, methodical and displaying
many INTJ traits.
The mini test questions are also rather tenuous, as you have commented on yourself:

Q 1 & 11 - I fail to see how a profitable trader could possibly agree with either of those.
Q 8 & 9 - they would be an advantage, and if those traits are psychopathic,
then most of the armed forces and emergency services have slight
psychopathic traits...

Also struggle to understand how agreeing with Q 5 is deemed to have any relevance to psychopathy.
