ORIGINAL: Numerans Most of you here are probably once again too public with your identities to talk openly about this but is there any term for this? Yup, you're probably an ethical sociopath. That is, somebody who wasn't born with the same impulse control and ingrained social adherence/obedience that most people have, but who has decided to impose some system of rules/ethics upon himself (which may or may not correlate to the system of rules society imposed and which other people naturally tend to follow) in order to make social integration more feasible. Don't be thinking psychopath. Not ever sociopath has violent tendencies, and only a very small fraction of them ever commit violent crimes. It's not that unusual to find relatively well adapted sociopaths, who give into their antisocial tendencies by having small kicks and thrill on the side. In fact, they're usually over represented in power positions such as CEOs, politicians, stockbrokers, etc. quote:
ORIGINAL: Numerans Have you encountered others who do it? Yup, I know several. You probably do too. An estimated 4% of the population is sociopathic, although as stated before, you'll find them in increased numbers in certain professions, with some studies indicating that their numbers might run as high at ~30% in power positions. You just don't know that the ones who are like you are like you, because part of the 'survival tactics' they have is to -like you- be extremely well socially adapted on the surface, so that most who know them would never suspect. It's not that hard to learn to recognize them once you know what to look for though. Now that's a tease. I tend to hate sociopaths or manipulative personalities in general but I recognize that the disorder as defined by professionals includes traits that are about ignoring social order, being over confident, taking liberties and what not. I've done a few tests, they don't tend to put me in that group. Never harmed any animals for example, always been tender to them instead. Tender to people weaker than me too. Would you be willing to have a chat privately if you're not just teasing ?
