Where did you read that, a fortune cookie?

none of those variables are related to narcissism
Both sociopaths and psychopaths score high on narcissism.
While psychologists used to believe that their actions were motivated by self-loathing, it has since been discovered that people who don't care about how their actions affect others generally think highly of themselves.
Interestingly, there is probably a philosophy of science paper about how that reflects a change in the narrative of psychology.

For each trait, decide if it applies to the person you suspect may be a socialised psychopath, fully (2 points), partially (1 point) or not at all (0 points).
A score of 25 or above suggests strong psychopathic tendencies. This does not mean the person is a potential mass-murderer: socialised psychopaths are not mad, nor do they have to resort to violence. Even so, a close professional or emotional relationship with a socialised psychopath is likely to prove a damaging experience.
So glad to find this post. My sociopath buddy is in jail. peeping tom. turns out cops have been on to him for 10 yrs. everything you guys say is true! he waited for women to walk in to a coed bathroom where he would stand naked. would jack off chasing women in cars, told his girlfriend he was a scuba diver and saves lives. ex marine, all lies.
told us all he had leukemia. lost 95 percent of his friends when we found out that was a lie. lost everyone else now that he'll be on a sexual offenders list.
his girlfriend called me and I told her it was all a lie. she couldn't believe it. now a month later, she called me yesterday and told me he's a sociopath. until now, I didn't know what that meant.
He was totally non violent, but evrything else you guys said described him exactly.
Are you Patty? id his name joe? lol
It seems that sociopath and psychopath are interchangable in the psychology field according my psychologist friend. People like to use the word "psychopath" more became of the word psycho...lol She said that there are also many degrees of it and yes, they can be destructive. She said after a while they are pretty easy to spot and yep, they are everywhere. She also said that the Narcissist is the tough one to catch. They are the ones that feel like "If I can't have you, then I'll destroy you." They are hard to catch unless you get out of line with them.......then watch out!
