    We usually don’t use the world psychopathy anymore in this context. It’s now referred to as anti social personality disorder.

      Not in the DSM, I know. Here’s the article I took it from after a quick google:

      https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2021.661044/full

      Wikipedia suggests that ASPD can be three times more common than ‘psychopathy’, because they’re not entirely the same thing. The two terms are sometimes used interchangeably, which causes confusion. So I used the term used in the article I found, rather than assuming they meant APSD.

      TLDR: people who lack empathy are not particularly rare.

        Psychopath isn’t a diagnostic term in the DSM. It’s more of a colloquial term we use in common language. But I get what you’re saying. The figure I read after I saw your comment was between 1-3%. I think the statistic has pretty high error bcz you can’t sample the entire population.

          It’s more of a colloquial term we use in common language.

          I know it’s not in the DSM and that it’s also a colloquial term, but the article cited doesn’t use it as such. They’re suggesting the prevalence of psychopathy, as diagnosed by the PCL-R test, is 5%.

          As the article is the first I found, I used the term psychopathy, rather than using APSD and confusing the terms unnecessarily. They’re arguably not synonymous. It’s likely that the prevalence of APSD is not the same as that of psychopathy, as diagnosed by the PCL-R.
