This is just bunch of words. la-la-la.
practice at lying, cheating and stealing - this requires lot of self-control, which is considered a virtue.
They are ruthless because to them other people are objects - this is an emotion management, another virtue.
They are not focused on any long term goal. Their focus is very much on the now - and this is called spontaneity, a top of Maslow hierarchy.
So, you call it wrong?)
The point is, there are never been any study of so-called extreme cases. Get your test subjects from slums - you will get different psychology. It does't matter what experts think they will find. They will find what they don't expect.
The common-sense psychology text-book says that family doesn't matter. Well, if it is an average mediocre family, it doesn't, indeed. Children were shaped by their social network - by the street.
Now consider being raised in a family where you father died in an accident and mother became mentally ill, without any treatment, or even diagnosis. What common-sense psychology will say? "We probably would see some systematic differences"?
This is yet another bell-curve. Common-sense psychology studying mostly those 75%. Yeah psychopath is different.
