The typical image of a psychopath is a crazy maniac with darting eyes and a mischievous smirk. In normal, non-movie life, we will not encounter such a thing. This disorder is usually difficult to recognize with the naked eye. Often such people are gallant, give the impression of being friendly and caring about someone’s well-being. However, such behaviors are the way to the goal of using a person, achieving their own benefits, the ability to control others.
British psychologist Kevin Dutton deals with such cases. In his book “The Wisdom of Psychopaths: What Saints, Spies, and Serial Killers Can Teach Us About Success” [ang: “Mądrość psychopatów: lekcja życia pobrana od świętych, szpiegów i seryjnych morderców”]where psychopaths are most likely to be found. Some are quite obvious, others… really surprising.
10. Civil servant
Such people cope well in crisis situations and are able to maintain order. Additionally, they have no compassion and no moral backbone. However, they are very intelligent and think logically.
9. Chef
Working under pressure, plus in a rather chaotic environment, is something that chefs deal with on a daily basis. Such conditions are ideal for people with psychopathic disorders.
8. A clergyman
There is certainly a surprise here. After all, the clergy are considered calm, kind and good people. However, they also have a huge impact on hundreds of people. In addition, they often work with the personal data of their faithful. This gives them tremendous control over others.
7. Policeman
Like civil servants, police officers also need to remain calm during a crisis. It is a dangerous profession in which resistance to stress is extremely important. That’s why psychopaths easily find themselves in it.
6. Journalist
We were surprised ourselves, but according to Dutton, this profession also attracts psychopaths. As the psychologist explains:
Journalists have the ability to be charming, focused, attentive and ruthless to get the story they want out of the interviewer.
5. Surgeon
This position should surprise no one. The work of surgeons is full of pressure and great responsibility. After all, the fate of many lives rests in their hands. Therefore, they must be able to cope with stress and make quick decisions.
4. Trader
Here’s another surprise. However, it turns out that the characteristics of salespeople are consistent with those of psychopaths. We are talking about shamelessness, tenacity, going out of line to achieve the goal before others. In addition, individualism and personal gain count more than teamwork.
3. Presenter
Presenters, radio announcers and others who are the “faces” or “voices” of the media are ideal jobs for psychopaths. They require a certain level of narcissism, as well as the ability to remain calm and focused.
2. Lawyer
Lawyers are characterized by great self-confidence, personal charm, as well as focus on their own goal to win the cases of their clients. Sounds like a job psychopaths would do well.
1. Boss
This position should surprise no one. Bosses have power over employees, can control them and often manipulate them. They willingly create chaos only to undermine the self-esteem of subordinates.
and how? are you surprised? It may come as a shock that Dutton has classified some professions of public trust. Who would have thought that a priest or a surgeon could be ideal jobs for psychopaths?
