What's a psychopath and how do you know you're one?

Become a real jerk with destructive instead of constructive intent!!

Psychopathy (pronounced /saɪˈkɒpəθi/[1][2]) is a psychological construct that describes chronic disregard for ethical principals and antisocial behavior.[3][4] The term is often used interchangeably with sociopathy.[5] In the ICD-10 diagnosis criteria, the terms antisocial/dissocial personality disorder are used. The psychopath is defined by an uninhibited gratification in criminal, sexual, or aggressive impulses and the inability to learn from past mistakes.[11][12][13] Individuals with this disorder gain satisfaction through their antisocial behavior and lack remorse for their actions.

Lack of a conscience in conjunction with a weak ability to defer gratification and/or control aggressive desires, often leads to antisocial acts.

Psychopaths (and others on the pathological narcissism scale) low in social cognition are more prone to violence, occupational failure, and problems maintaining relationships. Psychopaths differ in their impulse control abilities and overall desires. Those high in the pathological narcissism scale are more equipped to succeed, but pathological narcissism does not in any way guarantee success.

Common characteristics of those with psychopathy are:

* Grandiose sense of self-worth

* Superficial charm

* Criminal versatility

* Reckless disregard for the safety of self or others

* Impulse control problems

* Irresponsibility

* Inability to tolerate boredom

* Pathological narcissism

* Pathological lying

* Shallow affect

* Deceitfulness/manipulativeness

* Aggressive or violent tendencies, repeated physical fights or assaults on others

* Lack of empathy

* Lack of remorse, indifferent to or rationalizes having hurt or mistreated others

* A sense of extreme entitlement

* Lack of or diminished levels of anxiety/nervousness and other emotions

* Promiscuous sexual behavior, sexually deviant lifestyle

* Lack of personal insight

* Failure to follow any life plan

* Abuse of drugs including alcohol

* Disregard for conventional moral right and wrong
