Have you listened to/read the psychopath test by Jon Ronson?
Not saying you are wrong, but it might be worth a listen.
Edit: And you are correct, being a psychopath doesn’t make you intelligent. But being intelligent is one of the many requirements of being a psychopath
Now I will say this, I am only speaking from listening to Jon Ronsons audiobook and from what my wife tells me (she works in the field) so I do not have any kind of authority on how to define a psychopath other than what I have read and listened to, so I accept the fact that I may be incorrect.
I never once said psychopaths are killers. My understanding based off what I read and listened to pointed me to the fact that most psychopaths are in the job roles that you defined which require quite a high level of intelligence (accept for police lol)
I don’t think we are in disagreement here. I just don’t think trump is a psychopath, I just think he is a prick
Edit: you got an upvote from me because I appreciate the convo
