The Top 10 Jobs That Attract Psychopaths

[TLOL is back]

You notice most of those professions are very ego driven, and sociopaths are extremely self-centered since they lack empathy. They find the wiring in their brains are all messed up.

One thing studies and medical tests show, sociopaths do not feel fear because their can not process emotions, so if anyone can feel fear they are not a sociopath.

Oversimplification. Sociopaths do process emotions, especially anger and jealousy. They can also feel fear, they just feel it to a much lesser degree than the rest of us. It is blatantly incorrect to say that if anyone can feel fear they are not a sociopath.

Anger and envy is there, buts that only ego driven. All other emotions are very shallow, and pretty nonexistent.

Its not oversimplification, they are cold and remorseless because they are empty and emotionless. MRIs and skin conductance tests show they feel almost no fear.

You can't say they are emotionless and also that anger and envy is there. "But thats only ego driven" - so? Isn't jealousy usually ego driven for the rest off us too? They also feel irritation.

It is not necessarily that they feel "almost no fear" just markedly reduced fear. If psychopaths felt "almost no fear" they would have never made it through childhood. Fear keeps kids from doing stupidly-dangerous things.

They have no emotion. They experience almost no fear. These are hallmark traits of a psychopath. This is the consensus.

No, that is not the consensus. That is more like the nonsense you made up because you don't understand how to read scientific journals.

1) You can't say they have no emotion, while admitting that they feel anger and envy. This is a contradiction.

2) Show me any scientific source that says they feel "almost no fear" within all contexts.

All studies conclude the part of the brain that process emotion fails to activate in the brain of the psychopath.

Scientific journals uses the words shallow, emotionless, callous, dearth and empty.

MRIs have shown little to no emotional response, studies has focused on the cortex regions, mainly the occipital and parietal lobe.

EEG studies have supported very low activity in the areas of the brains responsible for processing emotion AND fear. Cancer gets the same emotional response as ice cream from a psychopath. A brutal accident with dead and badly injured bodies gets the same response as a picture of a rose from a psychopath.

The consensus is emotion AND fear is shown at a very insignificant level, the studies conclude psychopaths have no conscience, are emotionless and feel little fear.

And 0 of those studies show that those occur in all contexts. Zero.

Like I said, you either don't understand the studies, or you don't understand how to critically evaluate studies. To say that if someone feels fear, they are by definition not a psychopath, is simply incorrect. And you acknowledge it in at least half your posts on the matter (contradicting your earlier statement). Not to mention... context.

If your argument is that it doesn't happen in all contexts, I would agree, this is why studies use words such as hardly, dearth, very little, low level, etc....

Studies already described the context required to be diagnose a psychopath, and it occurs at a high enough level for them to believe MOST psychopaths possess these characteristics.

When they look at the diagnostic measures, it is found psychopath feel little emotion, fear, remorse, or empathy. MRIs, EEGs, and physiologic studies all support these findings. The countless psychopaths diagnosed meet these clinical criterias at varying degrees.

All their emotions such as anger and anxiety are superficial and dictated in the subcortex in the limibic system. Complex emotions such as love and compassion are not present at significant level because it requires the involvement of the cortex region which fail to activate.


ARE YOU ARGUING THE FINDINGS ARE INCONCLUSIVE because it does not happen in all contexts.

OR...ARE YOU ARGUING NO RULES SHOULD APPLY BECAUSE EXCEPTIONS EXIST?

OR...ARE YOU ARGUING STUDIES DISAGREE PSYCHOPATHS EXISTS?

I'm arguing that psychopaths:

1) Do indeed feel emotions (see the words in your own post in bold). Hence your "they have no emotion" quote earlier is false.

2) That your original statement of "if someone feels fear, they are not a psychopath" is simply incorrect (again, see your words in bold).

3) For all we know, even psychopaths (which exist), feel fear, perhaps even marked fear, in certain situations which were untested by researchers (such as fleeing from the police).
