Jobs Most Likely To Attract Psychopaths


The book "The Wisdom of Psychopaths: What Saints, Spies, and Serial Killers Can Teach Us About Success", came up with a top ten list of jobs most likely to attract psychopaths.


The top ten are...

1. CEO
2. Lawyer
3. Media (Television/Radio)
4. Salesperson
5. Surgeon
6. Journalist
7. Police officer
8. Clergy person
9. Chef
10. Civil servant

I'm glad to see that writer isn't on the list, and that both CEO and Lawyer are still ahead of media.

As for the lowest rates of psychopathy:

1. Care aide
2. Nurse
3. Therapist
4. Craftsperson
5. Beautician/Stylist
6. Charity worker
7. Teacher
8. Creative artist
9. Doctor
10. Accountant

I'm claiming #8 for writers everywhere. Phew.
