QUOTE : many psychopaths hold down important jobs. Key characteristics of psychopathy include pathological lying, a lack of remorse and a high degree of superficial charm, and it is these traits that enable a psychopath to hide in plain sight. He (or she) might adopt a persona and play the role so well that those associated with him (or her) have no concept of the true lack of emotion that exists beneath the well-thought-out personality that has been adopted.
