13 Signs To Identify A Psychopath
posted by Michael Thomas <http://www.exposingtruth.com/author/miket/>

Identify-a-Psychopath
<http://www.exposingtruth.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Identify-a-Psychopath.j
pg?973a5c>
What most people know about psychopaths, or sociopaths, stems primarily
from films and popular fiction. Although some of these portrayals are
more accurate than others, the basic archetype is based on a cluster
of behavioral and neurological differences. When these differences start
coming together into a risky personality: these 13 steps will let you
identify a psychopath.
Advertisement
Although Hervey Cleckleys 1941 still remains a reasonably accurate
depiction of the psychopathic personality, we have since learned that
the many of the same genes can be shared between the monk and the
psychopath, but that the psychopath has increased problems with
transcending their ego and taking responsibility for their behavior.
These 13 traits should help you more easily identify psychopathic or
sociopathic individuals in your life. In terms of the HARE-40 (a 40
point psychopathic check-list
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychopathy_Checklist>) which classifies
symptoms into affective (emotions, mood), interpersonal, and
lifestyle/criminal traits. The first two categories of affective and
interpersonal domains seem to be more related to genetics than the third
(lifestyle), which is more related to social factors. Regardless of what
created a psychopath: identifying them can be a life-saving skill
This 12-point list will give a little more definition to what you see in
your mind, but never forget that every personality disorder is an
extreme expression of normal human behaviors and feelings. No matter
what genes you carry or how youve come to see the world: there is
literally no excuse for extremely irresponsible behavior in the grand scope.
*The Traits To Look For: *
1.

6.

Absence of nervousness or neurotic symptoms

Interpersonal unreliability
Untruthfulness and insincerity
Insufficiently motivated antisocial behavior
A lack of affective (feeling) empathy
Failure to learn from negative experiences

13.

Callous and shallow emotional response

Fast, but irresponsible, decision-making
Incapacity for love
Lack of remorse or shame
Pathological narcissism/egocentricity
Superficial charm and manipulation
Failure to accept responsibility for their own actions

Callous/unemotional and antisocial (lack of responsibility, manipulative

nature) traits have been linked to genetics
<http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20345837>, but this is not the only
factor. How you have been brought up, the values and cognitive
constructs you have been handed down through life or your culture, all
impact your behavior and experience of the world.
Research also indicates that even completely neurotypical people can
have their empathy reduced by too much digital stimulation. Empathy is
not simply something that is on or off, but is also a skill. Your
natural capacity to improve and use this skill likely impacts how often
you use it, but pretty much everyone is capable of improving their
capacity for empathy. Whether you feel with everyone, rarely, or never:
you are technically capable of it
<http://www.exposingtruth.com/built-kind/>.
We need to ask ourselves whether a culture that teaches reflection,
mindfulness, and sustainability as values could create cognitive
constructs capable of compensating for a lack of the necessary feelings.
Certainly, a society that celebrates short-term profit while ignoring
social and environmental costs offers a great chance for every
individual to partake in irresponsible profiteering and exploitation.
Primary psychopaths, so those who display the emotionally callousness
and lack of empathy (low anxiety) without secondary impulsivity-based
(high-anxiety) features, were equally prone
<http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23748499> to rejecting unfair offers
to themselves while being more prepared to offer more slanted offers to
others, in several studies. The results actually showed the primary
psychopaths acting approximately thesame as patients with brain lesions
<http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20403367/> in the ventromedial
prefrontal cortex.
No matter what genes you have
<http://www.exposingtruth.com/much-genes-determine/> or what parts of
your brain light up who knows when, you are responsible for your
actions. Regardless of whether you feel with everyone you meet or are
incapable of feeling even with your closest friends: you should expect
yourself to improve the world around you and the society you exist in
while doing as little damage as possible.
Hopefully, we as a society can start gaining the cultural maturity
needed to create the cognitive constructs to disarm psychopathic
predispositions. After all: a lack of empathy and having risk-taking
genes doesnt prevent you from being a relatively responsible
neurologist

I come from Boston, Massachusetts, but currently live in Germany, where
I study biology. I am politically active and am working on creating my
own political movement based on the idea of the government and
politicians being almost totally transparent, and
localized/decentralized decision making.
