Eh, self report surveys can be fairly reliable.  You need to keep things like sample size, question phrasing, cultural bias, et al in mind.  I imagine most would think that people would tend to under report their sadistic thoughts, so it's disturbing what this survey reveals.

Vigo:
One glaring problem is they are relying on the survey itself to identify who is a troll, as the article states they just polled internet users. The person who states "I eat babies" is also gonna state "I piss people off on the internet for fun"

All this seems to determine is that psychopaths are found on the internet. Gasp!

Of course they are Canadian researchers as well, so their idea of trolling probably isn't the same as ours.  Eh.

I like to frag cops in GTA5.  Ergo I must be an Internet Troll.


Hmmm.  Must be true. I do like hazing haze...... :lol
