Maladaptive psychopaths end up in jail as result of violent crimes, successful psychopaths become high executives or CEO, (politicians?).

" Corporate psychopaths score high on Factor 1, the "selfish, callous, and remorseless use of others" category. It includes eight traits: glibness and superficial charm; grandiose sense of self-worth; pathological lying; conning and manipulativeness; lack of remorse or guilt; shallow affect (i.e., a coldness covered up by dramatic emotional displays that are actually playacting); callousness and lack of empathy; and the failure to accept responsibility for one's own actions."

"In the past thirty years, more and more workers have been showing signs of Psychopathy, Machiavellianism, and Narcissism. He also uncovers a new fourth personalty type: the triadic person. That's someone who displays all three traits. James claims that these people often excel the most."

bondi, thanks for posting. I shared the articles with a few colleagues at work that this subject resonated with, each with a different boss, but probably both bosses would qualify as psychopaths:LOL:.
