How To Spot A
Psychopath At Work
BBC News
8-20-4

How well do you know your colleagues' personalities?

Researchers

warn some of them may have psychopathic traits.

But they say this is nothing to be worried about.

They will not be violent, but their psychopathic traits

will

allow
them to climb the career ladder, New Scientist magazine reports.

Professor Robert Hare, of the University of British

Columbia

says

"corporate psychopaths'" arrogance and focus helps them succeed.

They may also be superficially charming, prone to fly

rages

and likely to take credit for colleague's achievements.

Professor Hare estimates that around one per cent of the
population of North America could be described as psychopaths.

'Focussed'

He has developed the 'Business Scan 360' test, along with

New

York
industrial organisational psychologist Paul Babiak in order to

detect

them.

The test involves interviewing people working with the

person

concerned to get a '360 degree' assessment of their personality.

They are currently interviewing 100 people convicted of

fraud

or

embezzlement - who will serve as a benchmark of the ultimately
undesirable
employee.

They will then interview a "normal" population of

and a

group of high flyers to see if they can distinguish exactly which

traits

lead to career success and which have less desirable

Mr Babiak said: "If you imagine the conscientious

at

one

end of the continuum and a prototypical 'corporate psychopath' at

the

other end, the test attempts to gauge where the individual is."

Paul Corry, of the mental health charity Rethink, told

News

Online: "It shows that mental health is an issue all around us."

He added: "Being psychotic is one extreme of a range of
personality traits. Everyone has different types of these traits.

"There's lots of evidence that people who are highly

motivated,

highly successful - particularly in finance and business - have

some

of

these psychotic traits.

"These are people who are extremely focussed on achieving

their

goals, and who are not too concerned about other people's

"There are other people who have very narcissistic

they

want to be centre-stage and their needs have to be put first."

He added: "People do say that you're a psychopath if

violent and a successful businessman if you're not."

Somehow I feel this explains Bush's success regardless of his

of

miserable failures.

You got my drift.

That's why Jean thinks we're the same person ... we think too much

alike.

We should do beers sometime.
