Top professional performance through psychopathy
(PHYSorg.com Medicine & Health)

The term `psychopath` is not flattering: such people are considered cold, manipulative, do not feel any remorse and seek thrills without any fear - and all that at other`s expense. A study by psychologists at the University of Bonn is now shattering this image. They claim that a certain form of psychopathy can lead to top professional performance, without harming others or the company. The study has initially been published online. The print edition will be published in the journal Personality and Individual Differences in mid-April.
