On the contrary. CEO's are much more often psychopaths than average. It's in fact the sharks that bubble up to the top.
- adventured 9y ago> CEO's are much more often psychopaths than average. I'm betting you can't back that up with a significant study that provides actual proof of that common claim. I've seen this statement made routinely for two decades online and have never once seen it supported with anything concrete.

CEOs in the referenced study were 20x more likely to be psychopaths than non-CEOs. That's the same rate as for prisoners.

- Applejinx 9y agoI find that hard to believe. Surely they're MUCH more likely to be psychopaths. It's almost the job description, at least under late stage capitalism in a declining society :)
