Vitally important information.
Scientific studies show that psychopaths' brains work in very different ways to the brains of normal human beings. According to Robert Hare, the psychopath seems to interpret, process and use emotional information as if it was neutral information. The psychopath cannot extract emotional information from words as normal people do. Words like "murder, rape and death", provoke NO reaction in the mind/brain of a psychopath. They respond 'in a very superficial manner' to concepts that cause an emotional and distressing reaction in normal people.

The World for People who Think
This looks to me like a definitive way to test politicians, bankers and CEOs.
I wonder how difficult it is to administer this test without flaw. Having radioactive isotopes injected into your blood stream doesn't sound particularly simple. It's not quite like peeing on a piece of paper or breathing into a tube.
Whatever the case, if this ever threatened to become a real test used on people not to explore the curiosities of the human brain, but rather to detect monsters, I can see the argument being floated that Psychopaths are somehow a "superior species", as they embody the American competitive ideal. Hogwash, of course, and it's an argument easily defeated, but I would not be surprised to see it espoused by the FOX talking heads, right out there in the open should push come to shove.
The war continues.
This is a useful tool to have in one's arsenal! Good find.
