Anon here who did an undergrad in psych three years ago.

All of what you've said is accurate, except for the fact that there's very little distinction made between sociopaths & psychopaths. You can have stupid psychopaths & smart sociopaths, and the term is pretty much used interchangeably nowadays.

Technically it's not even a psychological term, it's used more in the field of law. Psychologists would be more likely to diagnose them as having Antisocial Personality Disorder and/or Narcissistic Personality Disorder.

But you're spot on about the behavior & the way they see the world!

AYRT

I wish I had gotten all this from book learning, like you did. I had a parent who was(prolly still is, if they're still alive) a psychopath as I describe above, and I very narrowly avoided being a sociopath's victim at one place I worked.

Agreed about the sociopath/psychopath distinction. It's pretty much antiquated at this point, and there was never really a clear definition either way.

APD is also being used more commonly because of the significant social stigma surrounding the term "psychopath"; it's not really a very scientific term at this point, it's become a descriptive term or an insult.
