- dba7dba 10y agoI apologize for not including source as I was typing it on my phone. I just googled "public company ceos are psychopaths" and found http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/09/13/1-in-5-ceos-are-psychopaths-australian-study-finds/ http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/09/13/1-in-5-ceos-are-p... among others. "Australian study has found that about one in five corporate executives are psychopaths – roughly the same rate as among prisoners. The study of 261 senior professionals in the United States found that 21 per cent had clinically significant levels of psychopathic traits. The rate of psychopathy in the general population is about one in a hundred."
