I enjoy giving my friends a hard time in games etc, and they do the same right back, however it is always good natured. So going into this I was expecting to possibly get a couple points, but the questions like others said were specific and it was a clear cut NO on each one asked. I worry for those scoring high on this test, not a good way to live your life.

All of the tests on this website are bullshit, the sadism one included. It's not in any way shape or form well known or well accepted and it doesn't give any hint at all. The only thing these kind of ignorant tests show is things you already know about yourself.
These test are not made by professionals and they are not based on the work of professionals. They are made using the input of professionals, which means nothing. Education requires professionals to input their effort into their students, from thereon outward with just the kindergarten experience under your belt you can claim that everything you do is made using the input of professionals.
It is not a known or accepted test.
If you want to find out if you're actually sadistic...talk to a professionalThe work of Dr. Plouffe, Dr. Smith, and Dr. Saklofske has also informed some of the diagnostic criteria in the form of the widely used psychological instrument, the Assessment of Sadistic Personality for clinical use, especially by qualified mental health professionals.

I'm impressed/terrified by some of the higher answers. Still, I doubt anyone has a 0. Sometimes people are wrong and deserve to feel bad about it. I'm not going to give you a pat on the head and say you're entitled to your opinion if you say the earth is flat, 6000 years old, or that all diseases are caused by demonic possession. And if you think I'm exaggerating with those examples, you are living proof that ignorance is bliss and I envy you.
Sadism would imply I enjoy the suffering of others, which I don't. I have empathy, which also means that when other people's lies actively cause harm I become angry and want it to stop.
most of the questions basically were asking whether or not you enjoy hurting others.
now... the real question in my head is whether or not I am a masochist...
