This study aims to broaden the view of intelligence beyond the pre-existing notions or categories that include academic-specific domains. The Existential Intelligence Scale (EIS) attempts to measure the extent to which an individual allows themselves to venture into the realm of introspection about elements related to it like death, origins, existence, etc. This scale was made due to the author’s dissatisfaction with pre-existing existential scales, The scale was found to be internally consistent and had significant correlations with Depression and Stress on the DASS-21, but not with Anxiety. The limitations and scope for further research are also discussed.

Psychopathy, in its literal sense, is a dangerous disorder. It exhibits antisocial behavior, inclusive of rage or aggression, fantasy, etc. The current psychopath population is 1%, but this paper puts forth the probability of an increase in the current population. No individual scores a zero on the Levenson scale, and that in itself shows the innate harsh tendencies of the individual, hidden behind the social norms and good values, however, this paper shows how those could be affected and cause the individual to rank higher on the APD scale (given below), resulting in undesired antisocial behavior or the potential behavior. In this paper, we have taken the scores of the different generations (gen x, millennials, and gen z) to outline the statistical change in the scores to predict an estimate. This paper, through the different variables and the statistics, deduces an increase in the APD population to be a likely one in the future to come through theoretical prediction.
