CEOs are top of the list followed by lawyers and media. Trump exactly fits the profile of a psychopath.

The military is not mentioned which is surprising.

Here's a good one. Agnes fits the model for a female:

"Women show emotional instability, verbal violence, and manipulation of social networks"

Quote:

High stress jobs show the highest proportion of psychopathy. Lower stress jobs show least amount of psychopathy. Seems reasonable. Teaching is a high stress job. But you have to be able to show empathy to be able to teach properly. My high school had two teachers (in different departments) that lacked any real empathy. One lasted over 11 years at the high school before he was given the arse. The other must have stayed the first year before smacking off to another school. Both are on record as having attacked students, and neither cared.

Trump is more of a sociopath. He knows the difference between right and wrong. But he needs to identify with and manipulate people who will further his career.

Cods you seem to be vacuous and despondent since your better half Bogarde73 did a runner.

You've had your 5 minutes respite. Back down the rabbit hole you go.

Course not - all that harm done to others without remorse and out of pure self-interest is perfectly normal.  Most such forced into the sociopath position of making decisions that affect others, while knowing the possible results, struggle with it for life.  Psychopaths have no such problem, and even pat themselves on the back for a job well done.

A 'law enforcement officer' who upholds the law with perjury and treachery and falsifications and refusal to do a proper job is NOT a good law enforcement officer.

Even 'Blood and Guts' Patton wept over dead and wounded, while still seeing it as the only way.  What you are discussing is a dichotomy, not a single self-enclosed syndrome, which latter is what psychopathy is.

The difference would appear to be that the sociopath in the positions you describe subordinates personal feelings to some 'greater cause' and suffers as a result, whereas the psychopath not only is unaware of his/her psychopathy, but actually does it for pure self-interest and has no remorse.

Law enforcement officers are in no way anywhere near the situation of having to subordinate personal feelings to some 'greater good', such as a military officer may have to do - they have a choice at every step, and only the truly good ones do right regardless of personal outcome.  Law enforcement officers don't generally deal with life and death - though they like to imagine they do - so are not under the same constraints. Police suffer the lowest rate of felonious death in the community, most never draw a weapon in anger, most rarely confront a genuine violent situation - though they love to play it up along the lines that every time they go out the door they may not come back.

Helps with the kudos, the camaraderie and the retirement package that far too many seek early often by any means including genuinely psychopathic behaviour- all part of 'police culture' and sense of entitlement.

It is. But you have to have a certain personality to actually engage in that profession. My job can be high stress. But if you can breeze through that if you be pragmatic. I would have to change my personality if I got into the care profession.
