VOTE: Do psychopaths gravitate towards journalism and media?

By AdNews | 8 November 2012
 

A new book has suggested that two of the top ten professions that psychopaths gravitate towards are journalism and media. What do you think?

The book, The Wisdom Of Psychopaths: What Saints, Spies, and Serial Killers Can Teach Us About Success, written by Kevin Dutton, suggests that psychopaths gravitate either towards dog-eat-dog professions or towards jobs which offer power.

Dutton has provided a list of ten professions which are most likely to contain psychopaths.

At the top of the list is CEOs, followed by lawyers. The television or radio media industries have been named third on the list, while journalists come in at number six.

Other professions on the list include salesperson, surgeon, police officer, clergyperson, chef and civil servant.

Jobs which do not attract psychopaths include care aide, nurse, therapist, craftsperson, beautician/stylist, charity worker, teacher, creative artist, doctor and accountant.
