It seems I was correct in knowing the diff between psychopaths & sociopaths. At the end of the day, it's a case of nature or nurture. Psychopaths are born that way. Sociopaths are raised to become that way. But avoid both in all cases. However, there are jobs where these types perform quite well. I heard surgeon is one of those jobs. To be an effective surgeon, it's like being an effective auto mechanic. You should have zero feelings for the patient. Many effective CEOs have tendencies of psychopathy or sociopathy.
