Lets start with this video, which is a TEDtalk done by Jon Ronson, author of The Psycopath Test. Here he explains his journeys as a "Psychopath Spotter." I posted it in the MIT thread and it's unfortunate that it could not bloom into a better discussion.
For mobile users;
It's a very interesting video, and I highly recomend watching it before anything else.
Here is the psychopath checklist, which is used to determine how psychopathic an individual is;
This test is split up by forty points. Two per symptom. Scoring between a thirty and forty puts you at "high risk" of being a psychopath. I don't recomend "diagnosing" yourself, because your results will be far from acurate.
Anyway, enjoy the video.
