Dangerous Personalities

What Hacker News says

   I think the problem ties largely in mental illness... Sociopathic behavior, psychopathic behavior are pretty much the norm in C level management.

   There's a book called "Dangerous Personalities" which takes a dive into practical psychology for these sorts of people.

   I'm going to have to take a look at that book.

   One of the books that I liked was: In Sheep's Clothing: Understanding and Dealing with Manipulative People and Dangerous Personalities: An FBI Profiler Shows How to Identify and Protect Yourself from Harmful People

   @usmeteora great comments here.

   "I was the perfect target so sociopathic men and there were alot of them around me. It's not surprising in RETROSPECT that a year ago I got out of a long term relationship with a verifiable sociopath for all the reasons I just said."

   Read "Dangerous Personalities", Navarro.J. [0],[1]

   Navarro details a forensic checklist to identify personalities like this. I've got this book and it gives you a numerical score to ID said personalities, along personality types you've listed, and a few more.

   Forewarned is forearmed.

   "The gut-churning terror people feel at being stalked by their parents is no different than how they feel at being stalked by an ex."

   If this is you?, it's time to read: "Dangerous Personalities", Joe Navarro ~ http://www.jnforensics.com/#!books/cnec to evaluate the risk(s) you face.
