25% Of People Are Unaware That They Are Psychopaths. Are You One Of Them?

The implications are scary and figures are real. According to Maria Stout, 4% or one in every twenty five people are psychopaths. This mental disorder is hard to detect as the people affected by it can skillfully mask their disease.

The disease is defined by a person's lack of a conscience and a moral compass. They don't readily empathize with others because they are not as developed emotionally. They understand emotions and feelings in an intellectual capacity. They watch other's responses to different situations and stimuli and mimic the reactions. They start at a young age so they have spent most of their lives lying to an extent.

They may notice a difference in emotional range but not be aware of the severe differences in psyches. Since they lie to others so easily, they often fall victim to their own devices. Deep down they know they are different and will do anything in their power to not be revealed

Normally highly intelligent, they often elude detection for years until an event with serious and irrevocable reactions occur. The effort spent to observe and emulate the responses of others is staggering. They take on traits favored by society to better cloak themselves.

They will try to be charismatic, witty, strong, dynamic, and highly relatable around the clock to take focus away from their inability to express deeper emotions. They are master manipulators. They are often manipulating themselves, the 'hardest' trying to believe the lie they project to make it seem more real.

We won't waste time talking about how many horrors have been committed by psychopaths in history. Keep in mind though that most atrocities are committed by the hands of this dangerous archetype. You maybe one and not fully recognize it. You may shrug it off as bipolar, antisocial, or sociopathic.

The test below can provide an idea of who crazy you are. It will tell you if you are not a psychopath, partially one or a full blown case. If you test 'positive' examine your thoughts and be honest with yourself. If you feel you maybe psychopathic, don't let the momentary calm and peace of your behavior stop you from getting help.
