5 Signs Your Coworker Is a Psychopath

Research shows that psychopaths enjoy office popularity until others catch on.
Posted Oct 26, 2017

A study (link is external) in the journal Behavioral Sciences & the Law found that 3 percent of business leaders scored in the psychopathic range. In contrast, rates of individuals in the general population with psychopathic traits (i.e., have some psychopathic tendencies) hovers around 1 percent.

Hey, the article never really came out and said it was a bad thing....
 
Makes sense, I wouldn't be surprised if there was a higher proportion of psychopaths in investment banking on wall street/bay street. As they are unable to process emotion I imagine they could have the tendency to be quite good at beating the market and not let their emotions get in the way of making deals with clients/competitors.
 
My wife asked me to answer the following riddle..."A lady's mother just died and she arranges the funeral.  At the funeral, she meets the love of her life.  What do you think she should do to meet them again?"  I answered "arrange or go to another funeral, since it's likely the funeral director"...she went a bit white and said only a psychopath would have thought of that.

Who'd have thunk that I was almost Dexter Morgan?
