I got really angry reading this. It is a big mistake to think that just because someone does not break the law, and they are successful, they are beneficial to society at large or even to the organization where they are being successful. The fact that there a successful psychopaths is more an indication that we as a society have not quite created mechanisms of protecting ourselves from such people rather than any evidence that being a psychopath is somehow good. In the places where I have worked I have seen many of these bold people wreck the business as they are moving up the ranks of said business. In one previous workplace, the business was basically destroyed by these scumbags. But if the psychologists that wrote this article examine these scumbags, they will consider them "successful psychopaths" because they gained ranked and salary quickly within the business before they destroyed the whole thing. As I have done more work researching publicly traded companies, I have seen many companies destroyed by a bold charismatic leader that has a brilliant plan that can never succeed. Psychologists should concentrate on creating better tests for identifying psychopaths and creating better social or work structures for protecting against psychopathic infiltration rather than making excuses for or glorifying psychopaths.
