Actually, 1 in 25 people, male or female, is a psychopath, also known as a sociopath.

Scary huh?

I know a guy who is absolutely a psychopath, but I don’t want to go too far into a story. He is intimidated by (and hates) me because he found out that I’m too smart for him to con and manipulate the way he does with so many people. He and his friends (cohorts?) have caused many problems for me.

I love the article from Damn Iteresting. I read that blog faithfully, but I hate that it only has a new post about every week or so :( Yet another reason that mental_floss is the shiznit.

It’s funny. I took one of those extensive personality tests when I first entered college. I was basically told I had minor psychopathic tendencies. My job recommendations? Bus driver or Postal worker.

I kid you not.

Since then, I’ve decided those tests are bunk and I’m a happy, suit-wearing business women with psychopathic tendencies.

(The test was probably faulty, given that I thought it was a silly waste of time during my freshman orientation, I wanted to go to lunch, and I just filled in the bubbles making pretty patterns).

Thanks for the links! They were all great!

Thank you very much for linking up my article, and I’m honored that you relate to this paradigm and deem it worthy to teach your children.

Some fascinating links this morning.

Now I am convinced that my first real boyfriend was truly a psychopath.

My God, I’d be the biggest thing on campus if I could enter my car that way. Uhh…so…tempted.
