Thank you thank you! I've been reading some of the articles, and so far it's been very helpful

I remembered reading this delightful Cracked article, and it might be helpful to someone using a psychopathic personality type: "First, in movies the terms "psychotic" and "sociopath" are traded more often than genital infections at Flava Flav's house. But psychotic behavior...
