The doctors' opinions do not matter. Doctors can be horribly inaccurate and their opinions can differ greatly. I am a sociopath.
1. Are you superficially charming and intelligent? No, I'm genuinely charming and intelligent.
2. Do you have delusions or other signs of irrational thinking? When using the average mind as a litmus, yes.
3. Are you overly nervous, or do you have other neuroses? Rarely.
4. Are you reliable? Only to myself.
5. Do you tell lies or say insincere things? Yes.
6. Do you feel remorse or shame? Rare and transient.
7. Is your behavior anti-social for no good reason? I never do anything for no good reason, it's a waste of energy. Pointlessness is grating.
8. Do you have poor judgment, and fail to learn from experience? No.
9. Are you pathologically egocentric, and incapable of love? Yes and no, in that order.
10. Do you generally lack the ability to react emotionally? No.
11. Do you lack insight? No.
12. Are you responsive to others socially? When it suits me.
13. Are you a crazy party fiend? I enjoy parties..
14. Do you make false suicide threats? Yes.
15. Is your sex life impersonal, trivial or poorly integrated? Yes, yes, unsure of what this means.
16. Have you failed to follow a life plan? My only life plan is to continue living for as long as possible to achieve as many goals as possible. I am not dead. You decide.
Considering many of those characteristics still relate to psychopathy, I would think so, but the questions would not normally be asked so directly.
If they were and a diagnosis was based on that, I would think the psychologist was incompetent.
This is Cleckley's checklist:
1. Superficial charm and good "intelligence"
2. Absence of delusions and other signs of irrational thinking
3. Absence of "nervousness" or psychoneurotic manifestations
4. Unreliability
5. Untruthfulness and insincerity
6. Lack of remorse or shame
7. Inadequately motivated antisocial behavior
8. Poor judgment and failure to learn by experience
9. Pathologic egocentricity and incapacity for love
10. General poverty in major affective reactions
11. Specific loss of insight
12. Unresponsiveness in general interpersonal relations
13. Fantastic and uninviting behavior with drink and sometimes without
14. Suicide rarely carried out
15. Sex life impersonal, trivial, and poorly integrated
16. Failure to follow any life plan

You would have to read the descriptions of each to really understand what Cleckley meant about each, and why the questions in the MSN article are framed incorrectly. Furthermore, the article confuses "psychopath" with "sociopath," and confuses the modern diagnostic criterion (by the PCL-R) with an older one.
