How To Spot A Psychopath

Professor Robert Hare at the University of British Columbia figures that people numbering approximately 1 percent of the population of North America are psychopaths. Based upon a total of about 400 million North Americans, that equates to about 4 million being psychopaths. Interestingly, Robert Hare has devised a method to identify who the psychopaths are. It's also interesting that Hare appears to be a psychologist who works with other psychologists who, collectively, make more money when they can convince people that they are psychotic.

My take is that the research data obviously includes the population of psychologists in North America. If the psychologists were removed from the survey, the total number of psychopaths would be substantially reduced.
