Using the lower cutoff score is common in Europe, “but it’s actually not very wise,” the developer of the PCL Robert Hare said. Using a score of 25 as a threshold cutoff is okay for some research purposes, “but it runs the danger of including people who have an awful lot of antisocial characteristics and behaviors, but who don’t have the core features of psychopathy.” Interview with Robert Hare.
