I think I know what your talking about, in one of our classes, we took a variety of tests, I got identified as a psychopath (apparently following Milton Friedman makes you sound mad, as in his quote about obligations to shareholders).
He said a number of companies had approached him to see if they could use his methodology in screening executive candidates.
The teacher I had for this class, actually did side consulting work, not a good idea, his version of mentally ill was basically anyone who used financial incentives over altrustic ones, which made his opinions subjective and probably hurt his clients.
He said he was still hesistating to do that... for fear the tests would be used to find high-achiever sociopaths for CEO slots.
He is right on that, a good CEO should follow his shareholder obligations, but these consultants, would argue that they should follow employee (i.e. union) interests first, (and going against that made you look crazy according to him) which my old teach thought was a sign of being a psychopath (he also cited some left wing documentary to back him up).
My biggest gripe with him, was that he could not seperate his own beliefs and altrusim from finanical incentives (or greed) and thought anyone who disagreed with him was nuts.....FWIW, making money and helping the company could be labled as signs of being mentally ill, while doing things that put the company out of business and destroying the company would be signs of being sane.
