How to spot a psychopath: Expert reveals the traits to look out for in others and how to tell if YOU have the personality disorder
Like Patrick Bateman in American Psycho, psychopaths can be intelligent and charming, while hiding a lack of empathy.

So given their ability to manipulate others, how easy it is for you to spot one?

Self-professed psychopath Jacob Wells has revealed how he behaves in different situations and has listed questions that may help others identify whether they have any psychopathic traits - as well as recognise them in others.

Pretty much all politicians, judges, lawyers, senior cops and military are psychopaths.

Many doctors, dentists and surgeons are also psychopaths.

This is the conclusion I came to about 'self-help' and 'psychotherapy' and 'psychiatry' etc etc ad nauseum after too many years at university studying this shit.

It's all about undermining YOU.
It's all about "playing with your mind" (a direct quote form a mental health professional I interviewed once).

Never about building you up to fight the real wrongs that people, corporations and governments have done you.

Genetically weak and feeble people label a new evolution of human thought (intelligent, lacking unnecessary empathy, ambitious) as a "Psychopath." They got screwed in the game of life, and they have to brand the next step up as somehow evil and deranged.

Isn't psychopathy just a stage in life? May as well call it "finally made it to the management position syndrome".

One does not self define as a psychopath. That's like self defining as "genius" or "savant" or any other categorization.
One is determined a psychopath by comparison with an established representative group.

It's a bit self explanatory. How does having empathy factor in to a species' forward progress? The alleged "Psychopathy" is our race's next logical step to dealing with a coddled and docile population that's hell bent on letting every Sam and Sally with extreme obesity, moral bankruptcy, and low IQ act as paragons of progress. My source is watching this bizarre world unfold and take shape.

Because it is not REAL. Being a fake, phony and a fraud is a negative to anyone who is truly conscious and aware. As far as psychopathy being an evolutionary step up,not really unless you want a world full of machines without a conscience. There's nothing evolutionary about it as these types have existed since the dawn of man.

When did being truly conscious and aware become synonymous with being a slave to emotions? Just like they try to label smarter and more ambitious people as mentally ill, they're trying to convince people that truly conscious and aware individuals are lovey dovey progressive hippies. There's nothing machine-like going on in the mind of a Psychopath. The lack of fear and love doesn't mean emotionless, unless you look at it from the viewpoint of our regular society. There's plenty of emotion, it's just controllable.

Ones a fraud because they are nothing more than performance artists. To themselves they are true but what they give to others is self serving. They "pretend" to care and are basically human grifters, con men without a conscience to the damage they cause others who trust them It's very simple.

If we're going to start classifying stuff like: people that act different around different people, or people that subtly and unconsciously manipulate others for their own benefit, as psychopathic traits then that means that pretty much 9/10 human beings is a psychopath, and the remaining 1 is the autistic guy without any social skills.
