Typical characteristics
Robert Hare is an emeritus professor at the University of British Columbia. He researched especially in the field of psychopath ie . This is understood to mean a severe form of the dissocial personality disorder, which is accompanied by various characteristics. Hare, who was also a book author and profiler for the FBI, created a psychopathy checklist that introduces and defines these characteristics.
The checklist has been adopted as an international, medical-clinical standard by scientists and criminologists to recognize psychopaths and treat them properly.
Hare identifies a total of 20 complex features across two dimensions that are suitable for identifying or defining a psychopath. We have listed 14 of these complex features.
However, we would like to point out in this article that these features are only a guideline for the detection of a possibly mentally ill person. Whether someone is a psychopath can be determined only by a psychiatrist.
