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.

They may not murder anyone (directly) but they can harm in other, detrimental ways. Psychopaths can not empathize and really can not feel, like most people, and fake it as was mentioned. In some cases, they fake (mimicking) in an effort to deceive to gain power and control. More importantly, they do not have a conscience and as a result, cross moral lines. Bernie Madoff is a good example, but so did Fauci and it would appear that people have died or at least suffered by his action/decisions.

Sorry to hear it. Hopefully you figured it out before the end. It helps to figure it out before the end. I remember posting a very personal account about the issue when I nearly died of cancer. The vast majority on the board were women. Probably 85/15. The women very much thought I was creating the behavior out of fantasy. They became venomous over my truthfulness over a situation. I ended up deleting and just disappeared. Women can only see men as pure evil but women have a clear path. So women psychos get the the ability to hide behind femininity. They are in effect super predators.

The definition of psychopath indicates repeated criminal or antisocial behavior without remorse or empathy.

Full time? No, not all.

Many are only psychopaths periodically...

No. That’s bias. Lots of people would fit the profile of a psychopath, but have never committed a crime in their life.

He [The Professor] 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.

Absolutely true. Sadly, we live in a world of lies and duplicity that expressly hides the truth in order to protect these people because the syndicates only run because of them.

Adults who refuse to face the truth then lie to children instead of in the past where people would call it like it was. Grimm's Fairy Tales, for example, are horrific but are meant to warn children of the truth about sick and evil people.

I’m fascinated by this info. TuckerCarlson was first person I heard say Demonicrats project their crimes & sins upon Republicans. He may have related it to Alinsky, but I don’t remember. When the Demonicrat mantra became ‘Republicans are destroying Democracy,’ I knew that was their plan (probably Obamanation’s). I wish Tucker would do new shows on what Demonicrats are planning/projecting now.

You are no doubt correct as to genetic influences on psychopathy. Moreover, for such a trait to persist, it is likely adaptive toward survival and reproduction in many instances.

They should have taped the women talking with others and NOT in an interview. Since psychopaths are highly manipulative, I’m assuring if they’re with someone they think can read body language, they would keep everything still. That might not be true in other circumstances

The real question is how would their head move if they were setting someone up to ‘take’.
