So which professions (other than axe murderer) have the most psychopaths? What about the least?
Via The Wisdom of Psychopaths: What Saints, Spies, and Serial Killers Can Teach Us About Success:
Most of the professions on the right require human connection, dealing with feelings and most of them don’t offer much power. Psychopaths, by their very nature, would not be drawn to or very good at these things.
On the other hand, most of the roles on the left do offer power and many require an ability to make objective, clinical decisions divorced from feelings. Psychopaths would be drawn to these roles and thrive there.
