Politicians.

What do I win?

[rightwingextremist1776]

My guess is Cops or Sales....

[Michael.SF.]

‘surgeon’ is shown as ‘most likely’ and a ‘Doctor’ is listed as ‘least likely’.

Since all surgeons are also Doctors (I hope), this seems like a conflict. (Yes I know not all Doctors are surgeons).

Nassir Ghaemi: A First-Rate Madness: Uncovering the Links Between Leadership and Mental Illness

A most enlightening book - many of my heroes (and anti-heroes) were madmen.

[Thorliveshere]

I was going to guess psychiatry, because the people I knew (about) going into psychology at college were some of the most neurotic, disturbed and emotionally unbalanced people I ever met. No wonder we’re getting “redefined” ideas about homosexuality and pedophilia today.

[BillyBonebrake]

Liberal arts college faculties.

[huldah1776]

I need to know how he came to this conclusion. Did he match the symptoms into a career program or does he have access to private counselor/medical records and found out what careers these people have? This is iVillage.

This list makes a lot of sense, when using the definition (from dictionary.com) of "psychopath":

psychopath: person with a psychopathic personality, which manifests as amoral and antisocial behavior, lack of ability to love or establish meaningful personal relationships, extreme egocentricity, failure to learn from experience, etc.

For CEOs, etc, psychopathy would be an asset - imagine needing the ability to lay off 1000 people, some of whom you know pretty well. I couldn't do it, but then I'm not a psychopath. :-)

As far as politicians are concerned....I think that they're more along the lines of sociopaths ... which (again, according to dictionary.com) are psychopaths on steroids:

sociopath: a person with a psychopathic personality whose behavior is antisocial, often criminal, and who lacks a sense of moral responsibility or social conscience.

My gut sense before reading this says those in healthcare or law enforcement. Any profession where the nature of the interaction is someone who has power or influence over another human being that may have a compromised sense of security... think cancer patients that are anxious about being sick and in pain, ultimately, dying... or inmates in prison with no ability to fight for themselves... or mentally handicapped people.... or children. Now let's see how far off I am. I do know that studies reveal that a full 4% of the population are technically sociopaths, which is quite different from psychopaths... hmmm.

[KC Burke]

This writer has never employed Nurses.

[chesley]

Without reading the article, I am going to guess “lawyers”.

Now to see.

Politics
Finance

[showme_the_Glory]

As suspected. No on Mechanics, truck drivers, warehouse, blue collar workers.

[MayflowerMadam]

I didn’t read the whole article, but I’d have to say that Human Resources professionals are real close to #1. Sadistic, cold, and heartless.

[trisham]

I’m guessing the medical profession. Although it does attract some caring and compassionate people, it also attracts sadists and psychopaths.

Exhibit "A" and Exhibit "B"

[pgkdan]

Politics.

[newheart]

It is a little alarming to me that neither chefs nor surgeons can be trusted with the knives.

[SkyDancer]

Congress and used car salesmen.
