Actually, why shouldn't we seem like psychopaths? The percentage of psychologists who are psychopaths is higher than the national average (note that I'm NOT using the term "sociopath" which is not the same thing).
For the record, does anyone care to take a guess at which profession has the highest percentage of psychopaths (according to Cleckley's standards, not Hare's)? I'll post the answer Sunday after everyone who wants to do so has had a chance to give it a try. I'm willing to bet that most people won't get the right profession (be specific, by the way) and many of those who read the answer will have to get on the Internet and confirm it before they believe it! If you're serious gluttons for punishment, try for numbers two and three as well! Rick -- Rick Adams.

Do we seem like psychopaths? :) I totally apologize for that - it was just wrong! (And God bless the pigmies in Africa, to quote Larry). :) Thanks for understanding my quirkiness!

A question came up that neither my criminologist colleague nor I could answer. Do psychopaths experience frustration, and if so, could we infer that that frustration increases their odds of committing an aggression? Cheers!
