Bull.....shite.

So if you want to be a no count pussy you go with the later list.

Nurses are a little crazy. You want to talk about lack of empathy.

Their definition of psychopath encompasses a highly intelligent person who can compartmentalize emotions in light of circumstances and let logic rule. I don't think that makes you a psycho, it just makes you practical. I would say most Special Forces guys I know fit that description. The Selection process looks for people with the focus and drive to complete the mission regardless of their feelings on the matter. Likewise, they are to a person highly intelligent. I find it insulting to call those people psychopaths.

I think the articles definition is BS.

I figured politician had to be #1.
at least there are lawyers at #2. same thing, sort of. except for Trump, who's door #1, CEO.

I think the writer is using "psychopath" where I would use the term "sociopath". I thought that psychological pathologies would necessarily include some "psychotic" feature.

If I wanted to avoid working with the least number of psychopaths, does that not indicate that I want to work with a greater number of psychopaths?
