Certain personality disorders become much more prevalent in certain jobs. CEOs are much more likely to be sociopaths than the general population, for example. Is it a stretch to assume that NPD might be similarly more common in high status positions?

- ashtonkem 5y agoI find this very unpersuasive. Especially where it is arguing against claims not commonly made by such studies: > We also found that leaders with psychopathic tendencies were slightly less effective at their jobs in terms of fostering productivity. Usually the argument is that sociopaths rise to this level of power and eventually flame out. I’ve never seen any argument that sociopathy tends to make you a good CEO, but rather than it makes you more likely to rise to that level.
