I know this has a humorous tone. However: - Psychopathy as a psychological trait has more to do with limited, and absence of affective empathy, and as such, are among some of the hyper-rational humans around. - Anti-social personality disorder is the clinical diagnoses, and it is generally calibrated to mean criminally-inclined (since it was calibrated to people within the prison population). - "Pro-social" are those with the psychopathy neuroarchitecture, but have developed rationale for generally getting along with society. This label is not an official, clinical diagnoses. - People associate death images with psychopathy, but the ink-blot tests don't really test for psychopathy. They test for the default content in the brain. Put it this way: one of the practices some Buddhists will practice is to visualize how people are really walking corpses. A (typically male) monk will see a beautiful woman, and in order to gain a different point of view, will actively visualize her as a rotting, dying corpse. This surfaces up subconscious content relating to death and fear of death. In the Tibetan Buddhist traditions, the imagery and iconography are far more extreme. I remember reading a Quora answer written by a pro-social psychopath, answering, "what do psychopaths think about two girls and a cup", and the response was something along the lines of a puzzled, 'why would anyone do that?'. No disgust, no judgement, no horror, no desire. I've seen similar responses around psychopath's response to people with severed limbs, mutilated body parts, and so forth. I doubt psychopaths will see much on an ink-blot test, though they might lie about it for reasons of their own. Anyone can become pathologically fixated on death, death imagery, and combined with poor impulse control, may act upon those impulses. That can happen whether someone has a lot or a little affective empathy.
