Question

Steph Tomaras · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : D, Explanation :  Not feeling guilty after hurting someone is a known indicator of violent behavior and could be useful in predicting who may commit acts of violence. Answers to the Rorschach Inkblots and measurements of self-esteem may offer insight into a person's personality or emotional state, but they have not been proven to be definitive predictors of violent behavior. While a diagnosis of schizophrenia may be correlated with violent behavior, it is important to note that the majority of people with schizophrenia are not violent.
