Sociopaths are commonly found at the heads of governments, corporations, and positions of great power. This may be no coincidence, as sociopathic people have a tendency to be power-hungry and may spend a lot of effort and time attaining positions where they can dominate, control, and have authority over others.

Once the power is in their hands, they commonly misuse and abuse it in ways that are destructive, irresponsible, and harmful to others. According to psychologists, the scariest part is that it’s not easy to spot a sociopath. That’s because these people may be well-dressed, charming, polished, and successful.

They may take part in charitable activities or causes not because they care but because they know it makes them look good.
