This lists some mental problems like narcissistic and such.
This list reminds me of a certain US president now in office.
I believe many think Bill Clinton was a psychopath/sociopath as are many
successful politicians. I don't see loads of damaged children.

Or just law-breakers (eg Nixon, Clinton)
There is an opinion that society needs a small proportion of sociopaths to develop.

Originally posted by wolfgang59I thought society needs certain proportion of idealists, brave wise men with vision, unselfish patrons and restless thinkers and enterpreneurs to develop, and the percentage of sociopaths and/or moral deviants in the measure of ca. 5% was unavoidable mistake in every population.
