Your Definition

A layperson's term for somebody with antisocial personality disorder: somebody who lacks a conscience. This is somebody who knows right from wrong, but doesn't care because he/she does not think in those terms; they care about their own benefit, regardless of who is in the way. The sociopath is very often thought of as a serial killer, but that represents only a small portion of them; sociopaths can be anybody. Sociopaths come in these basic types: Common: A simple lack of conscience and lack of proper integration into society, they're feral children grown up. Alienated: Alienated from other people, they have trouble empathizing with others. Aggressive: Comes with a consistent sadistic streak. Dissocial: Abides by gang rules and morals that antagonize mainstream society.

The sociopath generally holds at least three of the following seven traits: 1. Failure to conform to social norms, including behavior that warrants arrest. 2. Deception; they're glib, pathological liars, and manipulators, often use false names. 3. Impulsive behavior; failure to plan ahead. 4. Irritable and aggressive, frequent fights or attacks. 5. Reckless disregard for the safety of self or others. 6. Consistently irresponsible; their work behavior is often inconsistent, they can be catastrophic parents. 7. Without remorse; will justify stealing or hurting others ("if you hadn't dressed like that, I wouldn't have raped you").
