Be definition, a "psychopath" is anyone with a mental illness. According to the CDC, this includes half of all Americans.

I think the author meant to say "How to Spot a sociopath".

Even the MSM employees were wondering about Hillary Clinton back in the early '90s.. Says She Once Tried to Be Marine this article from NY Times.
[Hillary's] . . . blur of [claims of] different roles . . . "We sense that we aren't seeing the 'real' Hillary, and this makes us very nervous." . . . the nation has become accustomed to Mrs. Clinton's intriguing shape-shifting.

Another good, related book is “The Sociopath Next Door.” It chilled me to the bone. A fair number of bosses are sociopaths.

Back in 1993, I read one of the books mentioned in the article, "Without Conscience" by Dr. Robert Hare, and when I told people I thought Bill and Hillary were both psychopaths I got a weird look from everybody as if they had suddenly lost their hearing and had no idea what I had just said to them.

A few years later when I would repeat what I had found, they didn't seemed so confused but slowly began to chime in that it certainly might be possible.

There are people who work without a conscience, sorta like driving a car without a speedometer.

And we now have such a person as president of the Untied States.

An easy way to check is to *YAWN* in the presence of someone you think is a nut job. If they don’t respond to the *YAWN* with a *YAWN* of their own...RUN!

Are you *YAWNING*? Even just seeing the written word should trigger a *YAWN* out of you!

Just checking, FReepers...LOL!

I don’t think hillary is a psychopath. She’s a megalomaniac but not a psychopath. 0bongo is a psychopath.

The main differences between phsycopath and sociopath that I remember are:

phsycopath) Born that way, difficult to self-manage behavior and typically not good at a job.

sociopath) Caused by trauma in childhood and is well able to control it in work settings.

Both feel no sypathy and empathy.

Most politicians fall into the latter (sociopath).

"How Dark Is Your Personality"

This test by the BBC measures Machiavellianism, narcissism, and psychopathy.

My result after two tests came up between Decidedly Dastardly and Moderately Nefarious.
