PSYCHOS RULE THE WORLD

More research has shown that the “functional psychopaths” of the world are primed for success not only in the corporate world but also have more success making profitable decisions in the financial markets. Research carried out last year by Professor Robert Hare of the University of British Columbia found that as many as one in 100 people display psychopathic tendencies. However, the study also found that those who did not become violent made the best corporate leaders thanks to their ruthless and narcissistic personalities. Further research carried out In the U.S. and Britain has also found that “functional psychopaths” are able to make far more money gambling in the stock markets thanks to emotional impairments in their brains which allow them to make high stakes risks with their money. So-called “normal” people are unable to risk money even when the potential benefits far outweigh their losses, which limits their ability to get ahead. (Reuters)
