Interviewing Psychopaths

[@ColleenC-n5v]

This is very helpful information to apply when dealing with malignant narcissists family members. Blessings and thank you.

[@baneverything5580]

It is far FAR higher than 1% and apparently grossly underestimated in females.

[@APetRescue-wc1iw]

So true. I would say closer to 30%. Males or females.

[@thurston4mor]

I’ve averaged 1 in 30 With life experience

[@Zach.3246]

@@APetRescue-wc1iwYeah, no.

[@queenofthebutterflies5212]

1% of population are psychopathic. 3% sociopathic and 6% narcissistic. Those stats are from Andrew Bustamante. The reason psychopathy is higher in men is bc men were the warriors and hunters when we were living in nomadic tribes in East African savannas. Our brains haven't changed much since then. Females are less represented bc they need empathy to care for their offspring. Men being psychopathic/sociopathic helps repopulate the human specie bc they tend to be very promiscuous (Dr Kevin Dutton)

Facts 👏🏽👏🏽

[@virgoroyalty]

In the sense that psychopaths are known for accomplishing things the average person can’t pull off, it makes sense to wonder how a psychopath would interview another.

[@RikodiusRex]

THANK YOU! I have had great success by weaving tests for empathy into conversations and situations. I use it in dating, work and friendship. The techniques you suggest to look for are techniques I've personally used, (ex...no pun intended...flipping the interview)...guess who taught me how to do that? My ex...who might be a psychopath. I started reading Hare after dating him so I wouldn't have it happen to me again. They destroy you. Thank you so much for posting this.

[@queenofthebutterflies5212]

You are so clever! What do you ask? I am SO curious!!!!! I am very empathic and have a tendency to attract narcissists and my ex husband was actually a sociopath.

[@RegiJatekokMagazin]

@@queenofthebutterflies5212 Idk this starting to be weird, everything is based to make it perfect. Its like the selection of Adam and Eve.

[@craiggalvin5893]

I was interviewed like this, diagnosed with anti social personality disorder and narcissistic personality disorder which the psych said was similar to being a psychopath. My question is how do you avoid jumping to conclusions based on what’s in their file. In many cases you know what happened or atleast a version of it. I feel like I was diagnosed before i even was evaluated. Are most of these diagnosis just basically based off the circumstances of the interview itself?

[@CopingwithGrattitude]

Look at Robert Hare’s work.

[@Woodman-Spare-that-tree]

You only have to watch a criminal trial (there are thousands of them on You Tube) or any of the True Crime channels, to see that no two psychiatrists or psychologists can agree on the same diagnosis for the same subject. So you should take every diagnosis with a huge pinch of salt.

[@craiggalvin5893]

@ Yeah and that is typically because one is one the defendant or defense attorney sent them to see and you typically get a diagnosis that is more sympathetic, something like Bi-polar disorder. Then the other is “state approved” like was the case with mine there is no mistake that I was given a list of state approved psychs I had to choose from. Those typically go the way mine did, it’s easier to get a conviction on a “psychopath”. Than someone that is mentally ill. The system is pretty rigged

[@Poppy-yx8js]

Higher than average psychopathic traits is 30% ! The 1% is the PCLR 30-40 on the check list.

[@i.ehrenfest349]

No, higher than average of any trait is 50% (or actually 49.99999%)

[@feralbluee]

Thanks! interesting that interviewing techniques that work most often, sometimes don’t. very tricky. this can also be true of a “normal” person interview, of course. it’s just that people with difficult disorders can get dicey quickly. have a good day :) 🌷🌱

[@engleharddinglefester4285]

Thanks! Psychopaths are super interesting.

[@Edelwiess1066]

Not really. They are 2 dimensional. Once you have figured them out the mystique evaporates and you see them as wrecked and twisted basic creatures lacking depth and personality. A void where a person should be.

[@HoosierHayday]

So sir, how long have you known my ex girlfriend? She never mentioned you.

[@flacan2020]

So I like how he is already in the person's mind before he even talks to them lot of assumptions and labeling going on.

[@Edelwiess1066]

It's called being educated on your subject. You can't handle it? Fragile...

[@anthonybarbuto6012]

Great discussion. There are more sociopaths than psychopaths. Sociopaths may be more dangerous because they can put on a more deceiving personality than psychopaths. I suggest u read the book.....the sociopath next door. The author, a psychiatrist, has many years experience working and studying sociopaths. Sociopaths can put on airs to be more charming than psychopaths......We see many sociopaths taking positions of power in business, politics, etc.

[@ShaunAndYoshi]

Why is the sociopath more deceptive than a psychopath

[@anthonybarbuto6012]

@@ShaunAndYoshi sociopaths can be charming. Many times they b come politicians, corporate leaders,salesmen......etc. Psychopaths usually do not have the social skills sociopaths. When thinking sociopath think the fast talking salesman. When thinking Psychopaths think dirty old man exposing himself at a park...

[@ShaunAndYoshi]

@@anthonybarbuto6012 i really dont think thats an accurate conceptualization of what psychopathy or primary psychopath is. Ive watched interviews with primary and secondary psychopaths. I've seen psychopaths with good social skills and ive seen sociopaths with bad social skills. Making generalisations about people with this disorder can be dangerous as it can lead to people not recognising someone as a psychopath because of the assumption that usually psychopaths dont have the social skills sociopaths do

[@ShaunAndYoshi]

@@anthonybarbuto6012 and dirty old man exposing himself in the park doesnt align with what an high function intelligence primary psychopath would do. Theres not really a reason to do such thing

[@mcfrisko834]

This is false information

[@JB-pk4ck]

flattery to appease a malignant narcissist is a frivolous tactic . A quote from Alice Morgan, a character from the show LUther who is equal parts mathematical genius, psychopath and malignant narcisst. I once read that all psychopaths are malignatn narcs but not vice versa.

Oh dear. I wanted to listen but the voice was too flat

[@chrisklest1238]

Is the context of this interview consensual? If not, could that lower the respect the interviewee has for the interviewer? How would an average person treat an interviewer if they don't have a lot of respect for them?

[@coleenfottrell4102]

If Psychopathy is not a mental illness why are you talking about this. I have a lot of these traits; what can I do about it. It’s depressing to imagine there no hope of change.

[@ChristopherMetzermacher]

cold theropy is the only way know what makes you happy nice expensive stuff random sex doing dangerous sports etc thats the only thing thats helped me also stay busy stay at work as much as possible last but not least dont drink too much cause when we do are self destructive side will come out not might keep that weak abused child that has never griwn up in there the one that doesnt trust you will also need a drug to keep you calm frim time to time on hard days in to make others more wt ease around you . youll be ok if you do this i have been at this for over 4 years study sam vaknin research hes the real best at these studies in last you have to let go of anything or anyone your not willing to walk away from in 3 seconds. accept that as a loss cause the way we are its already lost as a child we already died in morned are soul this is true untill you accept your diagnosis as your identity you will never at least be content i have looked in studied alot there is no cure for ASPD 😅 being a primary psychopath when you accept this you will slow down on being so suicidal cause thats are biggest problem to overcome is accepting that we are scum trash worth nothing you have to embrace what you are just be honest in real with yourself in dont let ones close to you know your diagnosis it with hurt you more then help in will loose everything you can never be honest about what you have done if your a true person with this diagnosis also think 3 to 5 seconds when upset your fiest response or reation isnt always your best good luck to you 🎉

[@queenofthebutterflies5212]

Are you psychopathic or sociopathic? There is hope and you can change. Having insight into yourself is absolutely the 1st step. A therapist who specialises in this area will help you work through it and assist with any destructive behaviours. You can 100% be a successful, contributing member of society. Dr Kevin Dutton states that the following professions have the most psychopaths in the following order and they do well in these industries bc they remain cool under pressure. Ceo’s (Politicians) Lawyers Media, TV radio Sales Surgeons Journalists Police / fire /Military Clergy Chefs Civil servants Best of luck
