Everyone has some evil in them. On a scale of 1 to 10, how much evil do you think you have in you?

Probably a 4, but I don't mean to.

Keri-Jade, 23
Brampton, Ontario CANADA

At this point in time i think im about the evilest bastard there is, so 10 :(

I dont really think of people as having evil in them. I think they make mistakes or get distracted by temptations, etc. As far as myself, I screw up plenty, but for the most part its not I dont intend to hurt others or anything like that, its more I acted selfishly and didnt realize until afterwards how it would affect others.

Cara, 18
Valparasio, IN USA

I feel like I'm between a 4 and a 6.

Felicia, 37
Lowell, MA USA

If I have to have some evil then it would have to be a 1.

Laney, 60
TX USA

Weird question! Ummmm...2 I guess. I'm not that evil.

Tracy, 24

Can evil really be measured on a ten scale? I've got that Robin Hood style of evil and that's cranked. Evil simply because sometimes it's funny? Again, cranked. Evil meaning hurting people for selfish reasons? Don't have any. Guess it averages out to 6.66.

Considering Hitler and Stalin as being on the 10 side of the evilness scale, I think my pettiness rates around a 1.

Laura, 38
Lowell, MA USA

By my own standards? 2 or 3. By the standards of my strict-Christian former friends? 6 or 7.

Karen, 23
Ames, IA USA

probably only 3 or 4.

Ashley, 20
Jacksonville, FL USA

Maybe a 3, if 10 is totally evil.

Cathie, 53
Novi, MI USA

My psyche is probably as much as one third base and ignoble, but I'm really quite clever about keeping my demons on short leash.

Jill, 61
Saylorsburg, PA USA

Not much. I think I'm a very nice person. On a scale from 1 - 10, I'd have to say my evil quotient would be about a 2, if that.

Tam

I don't accept the premise and believe that there may be people who have no evil in them. Nonetheless, I'll admit to having perhaps a 2.

tonight i have realized that i'm 90% evil. i'm still a pretty nice guy tho, just as long as i've had a beer or two. but no more than that.

A-Dog, 20

4.

A one? I never thoiught about it, I know that I love good gossip, but I cannot think that I'm evil.

KarenNJ, 25
Milltown, NJ USA

Let me put it this way...I let my cats, and dogs, decide how evil I am...they instinctively know how
evil one is...if they are willing to sit on your lap...than one is not particularly evil...going by
that yardstick, I think my evilness is pretty low...2.43...after all, Eros, Chunk, Cam-Corder,
Hermes, Lars, Morph...they are not afraid of me...and that is the straight dope...from the straight dope...

Frodo, 31
Modor

On scale of one to ten, my evil level would have to be a 4.

Mike, 21
Seattle, WA USA

That's tough... I'd have to say 1 being lowest and 10 being highest, I have a 2. I think "evil" is a pretty strong word. I may have some "mischief" in me, but I'd say there is very little "evil". In fact, 2 may be too high of a number, but I'll go with it.

Doug2, 30
Kansas City, KS USA

I can be mean, but I really don't think I have evil in me.

Cindy, 41
VA USA

I would say a 2 or 3. I'm not a saint, but I do hate people if I don't like them. I can yell, I get that from my mom. That's about the extent of it.

Stephanie, 27
TX USA

I hate to admit it but I think I have more evil in me than most people think. I'd give myself a 3.

Reba, 57
Gaithersburg, MD USA

Depends how you define "evil", I guess. I've laughed at offensive jokes and don't go to church, but I don't harm animals and respect my fellow man. Less than five, I should think.

Aly, 17
Cardiff UK

If I let loose and am sitting next to my brother Steven about a 7. But normally I'd say a 3.

A one would be awfully close to perfect. I might be a three, max. Saddam is a ten, nine minimum.
