Is Your Boss a Psychopath?

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the phb-for-a-better-tomorrow dept.

Dogers writes "Robert Hare, creator of the Psychopathy Checklist, has recently been applying his test 'Is your boss a psychopath' to businessmen and has found some disturbing results. From the article: 'Why wouldn't we want to screen them? We screen police officers, teachers. Why not people who are going to handle billions of dollars?'. Citing Enron and Worldcom management as an example, it seems a reasonable argument. The same source also has a quiz (magazine produced it seems) which allows you to test your own boss, too!"

    I think that this could be the very first Slashdot thread composed entirely of AC posts.

    I'm not scared! The psychopath is also illiterate...
