Are sociopaths super smart?


Posts: 579

 From this forum it seems that sociopaths are quite smart. However it seems that they may be held back in achieving their goals, by a sense of impulsivity. Since no one understand the sociopathic mind, better than you sociopaths I would love to hear what you have to say about this topic. Metaphorical bonus points for providing examples.

I think the depends on your definition of "smart".

Manipulation is one of the key componants of psychopathy... which does require a bit of intellect and cleverness... But judging by all the psychopaths in prison... I don't think having a high IQ is a requirement...

Perception is reality.

Some are, like some of those on this forum. But jay is right, there are socios who are just as stupid as other people. I figure its a spectrum of intellect just like with non socios.

 Cool, good reply. But do not think there are a higher proportion of intelligent sociopath than in the general population? Or are the sociopaths on this forum smarter, because they are using a computer and being introspective?

aspie sausage, youll find that most socio's are literally info hoovers. They have the inate ability to glean info where most people just pass it by, mere snippets usually, but laid in context, end to end...those snippets present a picture, whatever that may be.

Personally , I think IQ is relative, and a standardised test may show SOME aptitudes, but clearly fail to show others. Introspection for a socio usually means finding out where they may have slipped , and shown a peak behind the mask, no more or less. That in itself is self-empowerment, bettering ones skills. Introspection for empaths leads to deep self analysis, but for a socio it becomes dotting i's, and crossing t's. The socios on this forum have merely found alternate ways to glean info, and to hone online skillsets. Yes, of course there are gems of "openness", and candor, but on the whole the majority is simply a smoke screen.

 Okay, but if you do not provide at least a certain degree of reciprocity to me, I will get bored talking to you. Instead I will interact with other members of this website that exhibit a greater degree of reciprocity. Leaving you with this thought, I again ask you what are the obvious reason for narcissism into today's student population in your candid opinion.
