Cool!!!
Let's see, I just got out of my boring assed intro to psychology class and I found out some things about myself.
#1. According to my instructor, I have an Antisocial Personality (no shit!).
#2. According to her, I have Multiple Personalities (We agree!).
and #3. I have schizophrenia.
After finding all of these things out I realized that I'm more fucked up than I thought. Why didn't anyone tell me about these things?
The characteristics for an antisocial personality are as follows: Intelligence, Charm, Charisma (which I have all of), untruthful, manipulative, thrill-seeking, and remorselessness. With these characteristics (with the exception of intelligence) you are talking about nearly every politico in existence.
Let's break these down even more so. Intelligence means that you can think and reason a little better than the norm for today's society. Charm means that you have the ability to make people like you. Charisma, you can have people do what you want them to do. Dishonesty-ok, who hasn't done something wrong in their lives? Manipulative-we all do things to get what we want, even when we say we're NOT manipulating others. Thrill-seeking--who out there doesn't want a little excitement in their lives? Remorselessness-there are times you were glad you did something bad in your life.
So I guess what I'm trying to say is that most people of intelligence are sociopaths, or at least closet sociopaths. Why should we shun the average sociopath? It's because of the really fucked up ones that we get a bad name. People like Hitler, Ted Bundy, John Wayne Gacy, Charles Manson, and Jeffrey Dahmer, give us a bad name. I admit that I am a sociopath, but I'm one who doesn't hurt others, nor do I torture animals. I am what you would call a "functioning" sociopath, just like there are "functioning" alcoholics.
