TV/Media ranks among top 3 professions with most psychopathic personalities. We’re sure politician is also high on that list.

  • I think that salesperson, surgeon and clergy person should switch sides with therapist, teacher, and creative artist...I don't know what to think about Chefs.

    • Then clearly you have n ever worked in a fine dining restaurant and had a chef threaten you with a 12" chef's knife. But outside the kitchen they are are fine as . Long as you keep your distance.

    Happy Veteran's Day to all of our Veterans, and Thank You!

    • Funny how some stupid troll thumbed you down for basically a public service announcement...Probably the same troll who would bitch if her ice cream was cold....some people and some peoples children.....

      • Yea, well there are lurkers here, and I'm sure they hate the military, if for no other reason than that they will never know the kind of comraderie that we have. When you're a bitter troll, you don't usually have very many friends

        • On the way home from my weekend event, we stopped at a Black Bear Diner, a family owned chain of very good restaurants here in Central California. I guess they had some specials for Veterans also, since the waitress just assumed I was one. Hey, just because I look like I've been through some very serious firefights, and can't hear a damn thing, they assume I'm a veteran?

          I thanked her for the compliment, but no, I don't qualify as a veteran. The military didn't want me because of the injuries to my right leg in high school.

    • How nice to put all this in pne place for easy access! Go for it Veterans! You deserve this and more! And remember in particular todau the thousands lost in WWI. This is Armistice Day, the 11th hour of the 11 day of the 11th month, Ended a war that wiped out n entire generation of men.

    • Kinda ironic, considering the reason they need to be worried is because PEOPLE ARE FED UP WITH "MODERATE REPUBLICANS".

      • The guys youare referring to aren't moderate Republicans. They are save-my-ass-at-any-cost independents, regardless of them running on a Republican ticket.

  • What doesn't surprise me is that #3 on the anti psychopathy list is me!
    Craftsperson would be those in the construction trades. :-)
    That said, I am finding it hard to believe that nurse in in this list as anti psychopathic, no offense to Rose, but we all know what I'm referring to.

  • I have to agree with your comment on therapists. I have become very wary of the medical profession in general, but if the surgeon that did my angioplasty 2 years ago is a psychopath I say give that man a raise! Some of the traits that are ascribed to psychopaths in that article are probably necessary to be a surgeon.

    • I only wish the surgeons that put my right leg back together could have made even more money than they did. Psychiatrists and psychologists, I wouldn't trust as far as I could throw them.

  • I'm surprised that Therapist wasn't highest . Almost every therapist I've ever met was whacked . I'm positive there are many that are not , but in my line of work , I have come to realize that there is a fine line between the patient and the therapist .

    On a side note , I'm glad my profession was not on these top 10 lists .

    • I wonder iof they meant Psychiatrist therapists or like physical or occupational therapists? The later would fall under the right category I believe.

    • And what do these all have in common? Why they all tend to lie their frigging asses off, most of the time.

      • Except Chefs. They are only pschopathic about their food and kitchens! Interesting that the left column is predominately (well respected) position jobs, while the right column ( the more normal ones) are looked down upon, What does that say about our society?
