How Do You Recognize a Psychopath?

Found an interesting piece on NPR, "A Psychopath Walks Into a Room. Can You Tell?"  The following is a  segments that starts us thinking:
"Robert Hare, the eminent Canadian psychologist who invented the psychopath checklist, ... recently announced that you're four times more likely to find a psychopath at the top of the corporate ladder than you are walking around in the janitor's office,"


Very interesting. That makes me think back to the crazy bosses I have had in my career.  


Many characteristics of "successful" CEO's match up with characteristic of a psychopath, such as, "manipulative" and "self aggrandizement."
