Best Answer

Yes. A psychopath is not necessarily a criminal. They lack empathy though. A psychopath does have the ability to control their behavior, unlike a person with something such as antisocial personality disorder. Psychopaths tend to be extremely intelligent and thus can put there intelligence to good use. The only reason that psychopaths have a bad rap is due to the fact that many serial killers are diagnosed as psychopaths.
