How do you spot a psychopath? According to one new study, there’s one recognisable sign.
New research suggests that levels of head movement during a conversation could be an indicator.
Scientists researching in New Mexico conducted a study by observing recordings of women in police interviews.
Just like with men, they found that the most psychopathic among those interviewed kept their heads very still during conversation.
Researchers at the University of New Mexico's Department of Psychology in Albuquerque claim to have conducted the first study into indicators of psychopaths in women.
They said in the study, Personality and Individual Differences: “Nonverbal behaviors (i.e., head dynamics) represent an important, yet understudied, form of communication that may enhance our ability to detect certain forms of psychopathology, including psychopathy. “We believe our results help identify a unique pattern of head dynamics characteristic of women scoring high on psychopathy, specifically, exhibiting more stationary head positioning during clinical interview administration.”
Scientists involved in the study used image processing and machine learning tool to record the head movements of 213 incarcerated women who were told they were being filmed.

This is not an absolute indicator, because psychopaths might fake head movements as well to make it seem as though they empathize when they don't.
Check to see if they are a registered ‘Rat?
I don’t think I’ve ever seen Bidon’s head move when he’s talking to somebody.
Hell of a day to have a stiff neck during that law enforcement interview. lol.
Seriously, I’m just getting to the end of the “Dexter” series and they kind of delve into these behavioral matters. Super interesting.
I had a very good professor in college who had a lot of experience in this area. He said you could be working alongside a psychopath (who hates you) for years are not know it. Some of them are so good at faking it.
Yes— a demented psychopath who does not and cannot “fake” it. See: the “smile”.. the smug a@@hole smile. A peek into the already depleted brain casing of a truly greedy, deceptive lying psychopath. In a sane world he would long ago have been kicked out of the Senate- which reminds us— check out their head movements, fwiw. These are pro- fakirs.
I am convinced the governors of Michigan and New York are genuine psychos. Crazy eyes.
Merrick Garbage
Adam Schiff
Joe Burden
Christoper Wray AND James Comey
Alejando Mayorkas

Ah hell.. OUR ENTIRE REGIME !!
My thoughts also, Biden drs not move.
Yeah, just look after their name and if you see a (D) there it’s a good bet…
Psychopathy is just a psychological condition. It’s not a designation of badness or evil. They just can’t empathize. The majority of them are perfectly law abiding and harmless, and they might do many good works in their life.
They just don’t have the brain structure or chemicals to empathize with you.
All you have to do is look in the White House or the Congressional Office Buildings.
It's the eyes
His point was that they are able to fake empathy so well so you don’t what is really going on with them.
Right, which I agree with him.
Many people have the idea that, if you’re a psychopath, you are going to murder somebody if you haven’t already.
"Hey, don't look at me! I'm not a psychopath, I'm a pedophile!"
No. But you COULD.
