I listen to a lot of leftie talk radio.

The left now classify ultra wealthy people (especially evil CEO's) as "psychopaths". (except for ultra lefties who are wealthy)

and who are the people who get to determine who is a psychopath and who isn't? Psychologists? Mostly leftists who study a pseudo-science, about as scientific as ghost hunting and probably the most screwed up people you knew in college.

Van Gogh wasn't a psychopath---he was most likely schizophrenic. Syd Barrett maybe.

Not really. A basic definition: "a personality disorder that has been variously characterized by shallow emotions (including reduced fear, a lack of empathy, and stress tolerance), coldheartedness, egocentricity, superficial charm, manipulativeness, irresponsibility, impulsivity, criminality, antisocial behavior, a lack of remorse, and a parasitic lifestyle."

Most people don't exhibit these qualities most of the time.

The majority of psychopaths are in Law Enforcement. US Attorneys & Federal judges at the top of the list. Filtering down to State prosecutors & police. Scum of the earth. Liars & muderers.

Psychopathy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
and most of those are subjective to opinion.

Having issues doesn't make one a psychopath, majoring in psych doesn't make one a psychologist either.

None on that list of yours was a psychopath. They were psychotic, and Van Gogh was schizophrenic. Different words, different meanings. learn the difference.

Creative artists include writers, dancers, musicians, actors, poets, quilters, fashion designers, furniture makers, directors, and even game designers. The reason why they rate so low may be due to their creative outlets. Few are bottled up tightly with frustration as they all have a way of letting things out in their work.
