How much it takes to stop psychopaths.


An average IQ psychopath you need to be double as smart to know and stop. You only need to be a genius to know and stop a very narcissistic person or sociopath.

What do you base this on?

My experience with people. Psychopaths lie, at a higher rate than sociopaths do. As a result of continuous lying their stories become more complicated, demanding a spider's web processing brain to see through the nonsense, and knowing for sure if someone was a psychopath or a sociopath. A psychopath would lie throughout his life, but a sociopath would lie persistently after growing up.

Or they fuck up so anyone can tell they're lying.

reply

They can say they lied for a reason and try to win your favour by apologizing.

Nah, an IQ of 130 or higher is enough to excel at most professions, including detective.
