For those of you in the mood, RationalWiki has a fun article about Psychopath. |
A Psychopath is an individual conforming to the diagnostic criteria for psychopathy, a common[1] mental illness.
Psychopaths often display a lack of conscience. Another characteristic is that they have a certain level of charm. Because of these conditions as well as being self-serving and manipulative in nature, they often do very well in both business and politics.
