Since many of you will actually be unfamiliar with sociopaths and how to recognize them, I recommend the book “The Mask of Sanity”, a landmark in the field by Dr. Hervey Cleckley. Cleckley gives case histories and the following summary of diagnostic characteristics. Cleckley used the term “psychopath”; the modern term is “sociopath”, or “personality disorder with antisocial reaction”. Cleckley’s list:

Characteristics

Cleckley introduced 16 behavioral characteristics of a psychopath: [SIZE=2]

  2. [/SIZE]Superficial charm and good intelligence
  3. Absence of delusions and other signs of irrational thinking
  4. Absence of nervousness or psychoneurotic manifestations
  5. Unreliability
  6. Untruthfulness and insincerity
  7. Lack of remorse and shame
  8. Inadequately motivated antisocial behavior
  9. Poor judgment and failure to learn by experience
  10. Pathologic egocentricity and incapacity for love
  11. General poverty in major affective reactions
  12. Specific loss of insight
  13. Unresponsiveness in general interpersonal relations
  14. Fantastic and uninviting behavior with drink and sometimes without
  15. Suicide threats rarely carried out
  16. Sex life impersonal, trivial, and poorly integrated
  17. Failure to follow any life plan.

Can we please leave the internet diagnoses out of the thread. It’s enough to know that he has been caught falsifying his martial arts credentials, and is unqualified to teach. Let’s leave it at that.

Psst:

When you quote with live links, make sure they work correctly. Also, we are not here to diagnose people over the internet. So, this post will be removed because, this discussion has already occurred and ended.

Second attempt to post –

Since many of you will be unfamiliar with diagnostic characteristics of sociopaths, I recommend the book The Mask of Sanity by Dr. Hervey Cleckley. Cleckley made the first major studies of sociopaths; he gives many case histories and proposes 16 diagnostic characteristics. Cleckley used the term psychopath; the more modern term is sociopath or, lately, antisocial personality disorder. Whatever you call them, they are persons to be avoided.

Actually, I’ve met quite a few people who fulfil most of the above criteria. Worked alongside them, mostly.
