I wouldn't worry about test results (except for Bible-related tests), Brother Dr. Toole, Sir. My husband takes the view that
all boys are sociopaths and it's something they either grow out of or they don't. Regular beatings generally speed up the process.
Proverbs 23:13-14 shows us the way:
Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die. Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell.
You don't say how old your
nephew is. My boys are mostly within the normal range for male sociopathy by the age of about 8 or 9. I rely on their elder brothers to punish the younger ones. It is good to give them responsibility.
Had it been a niece, my answer would obviously have been different.
