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.
You can qualify just about anyone under the 'clinical definition' of psychopath.
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.

I would have guessed psychologist at the top of the first list. Think back to college, and the people you knew who were psyche majors. Many, but not all, of the psyche majors I knew became interested in it because they themselves had 'issues.'
Having issues doesn't make one a psychopath, majoring in psych doesn't make one a psychologist either.
And btw, how does 'creative artist' make list #2 (lowest rates). Ever heard of Van Gogh? Robert Schuman? Syd Barrett?
This list is garbage.
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.
