His overall take:
Although people tend to think of psychopaths as killers—indeed about 15-25% of people in prison are psychopaths—in fact many people with psychopathic tendencies are not criminals.He also notes that the idea of a "successful psychopath is largely not true, saying they earn less money than average.
Here are some of the traits of psychopaths:
- Self-confident
- Cold-hearted
- Manipulative
- Fearless
- Charming
- Cool under pressure
- Egocentric
- Carefree
Hey, there's a newspaper trait!
More seriously, I can think of three former bosses who fit at least the cold-hearted, manipulative, egocentric and carefree portions of the description.
