Careers for the psychopathic type
Athletes, bouncers, field officers and interrogators. Since applying force is everything to us, it is in Full Contact Karate that they find their perfect embodiment
Businesspeople, and not small ones either — mid-sized at the very least. Or the seriously rich from Moscow's Rublyovka. Or politicians consumed by the drive for power. The best known and most fully drawn portrait on television is Frank Underwood in “House of Cards”.

Scandal journalism, wherever you have to cross boundaries and tell people the raw truth to their face.
Stunt performers, because of the risk: people of the psychopathic kind are more inclined than any other to gamble with their own lives. Their way of life, in general, can be summed up in one word — “self-destruction” — but self-destruction in the style of a volcano: it is vivid, it is impossible to miss, it shakes the foundations, and nobody walks past it. Something does get created along the way, but at the cost of destroying themselves.
