I wasn't planning on talking about what the OP's intentions are here or even in life and I realize Open Eyes, you have good intentions. Its hard for any of us to wonder what are the intentions of everyone here, plus would we dare ask anyone else this? Just because someone has an less than pure label doesn't mean intentions are bad. As for what career could being a psychopath be an asset - well computer hackers often get hired by large companies, some criminals end up helping the police. I could see a psychopath helping the police or the FBI in tough serial cases...providing a profile or inside look.

The original poster also posted a lot of info about psychopaths so the general population could understand, since there's a lot of misunderstandings. I found the thread about how to spot a psychopath and how not to be a victim of crime helpful. Many misunderstand and think they choose to be evil, but they were born lacking the part of the brain. Back the original topic - I think its a good topic to discuss since we all at some point have used this. Even a woman wearing a short skirt and tight shirt is a form of manipulation if she's hoping to attract men lol. Children and even dogs are masters of manipulation with their cuteness lol.
