I’m fascinated by the potential for psychopaths to have a place in society and the studies and examples Dutton puts forth confirm it. It seems that there is an actual NEED for them in some jobs—neurosurgeon, undercover officer, fighter
pilot.
There are links to various studies to determine a persons placement test on an index that ranks the potential. There are also offers of situations that challenge just what a non-psychopath might do.
“There’s a story making the rounds n the internet and it goes like this. While attending her mothers funeral, a woman meets a man she’s never seen before. She thinks he’s incredible. She believed him to be her soul mate... But she never asks for his number and, when the funeral is over, cannot track him down. A few da s later she kills her sister. Why? Assuming you think like a psychopath, the answer is this: because she was hoping the man would turn up again at her sisters funeral.”
