    My mother was a hippie and a lot of it rubbed off.:yep Yeah I'm a fan but only because I'm very interested in psychology and temperament and the fact that large swaths of people share similar personality traits who are born around the same time fascinates me. None of the mumbo jumbo aspects.

    Technically speaking all these supposed definitions are just semantic interpretations, there is no 'correct' answer. Neither pyschopathy or sociopathy are medical terms, one would only be diagnosed with anti social personality disorder.

    He just belongs to the elite mentally tough rational minority, opposed to the emotional irrational peasantry. He comes to win & lives to win, the last part is so hard for peasants to understand :smoke

    Given the acknowledged importance of very early development, it wouldn't surprise me at all if there was some merit to this. People are generally happier in summer, including new parents, that has to have a degree of impact.

    I would say that is false. A brain scan can indicate psychopathy. Check this out:

    Most peasants can't handle the truth, they love the self-deceieving warm lies of "we are all the same" in a way the global peasantry is becoming assimilated, as this makes managing the herd easier :smoke

    Every little advantage/disadvantage in all living species are meticulously recorded by genetic mutations.

    A DNA ana|ysis can tell you a lot about the primate in question & save us/himself time

    That just confirms what I said

    "Psychopathy, or sociopathy, is not an official diagnosis. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) refers to the condition as antisocial personality disorder."

    Of course people are trying to narrow it down further, one route they're going down for this is nature/nurture.
    Interesting article, but as of now there is no consensus medical definition of either term.

    For what it's worth I don't think Kovalev is a pyscopath, not one bit. He's playing the heel. And dislikes Pascal, fair enough.
    As someone mentioned earlier Don King is far more likely.

    Hooray for eugenics. Phrenology ftw.

    That said there's plenty of reason to believe psychopathic tendencies amongst a percentage of a populace is important for evolution. Someone's got to do the dirty jobs. So, yeah.

    What about people who are born on the other side of the world? And with those lists you posted they are so extensive it would be impossible for someone not to tick a lot of those boxes. Think more, there is absolutely nothing to it.

    I've thought of that as well, but Cancers and Capricorns share many similarities as well, maybe the more extreme the climate like Summer hot and Winter cold have a similar effect on the personality.
