I'm not sure a having a brain scan that shows you're chronically underutilizing your empathy centre makes you a psychopath. I'm sure Elon Musk's brain scan would look similar to the writer's. If we are going to continue use the word as a synonym for "human to avoid at all costs", it's about being an unrepentant predator of other humans. To conflate psychopath with hardcore -NTJ is to demonize hardcore -NTJ's, which can actually be a very valuable flavor of human for society. We should judge people by their impact crater, not by the perculiarities of their brain scans. If you look at the psychopathy questionnaires, they have a heavy focus on the unrepentant predator side of things (e.g. https://openpsychometrics.org/tests/LSRP.php https://openpsychometrics.org/tests/LSRP.php). The author does not sound like an unrepentant predator, so I think without the benefit of seeing his brain scan, few psychologists/psychiatrists would diagnose him as a psychopath.
