What are the different types of Psychopaths?

Answer 1

There are four different types of psychopaths.

The first type is distempered psychopaths, who are the most prone to sudden outbursts of rage, with frenzy and rage resembling an epileptic fit. They have immensely strong sex drives, obsessing with sexual urges during their lives. They have also huge cravings, such as kleptomania or sadistic pedophilia, doing this almost solely for the "rush." Then, there are primary psychopaths, who should be called emotional masochists. They won't respond to stress, punishment, or disapproval. Another strong trait is that they don't understand the meaning of words well, a condition called semantic aphasia. They have no life plan and are just breathing machines with no emotion, good or bad. Next, there are charismatic psychopaths -- in one word, liars. They are irresistible, charming, believe their own lies, extremely persuasive, talented, and also have the ability to manipulate well. In fact, many leaders of doomsday cults (cults that drive their followers to their deaths, such as the Heaven's Gate cult) were these types of psychopaths. Finally, there are secondary psychopaths, who may feel slight emotions of worry or guilt. These are avid risk-takers, exposing themselves to more stress and danger than the average person, who play by their own rules.

People will often confuse sociopaths and antisocial disorders with Psychopathy.
