Remember: Psychopaths in popular fiction and movies generally possess a number of standard characteristics which are not necessarily as common among real-life psychopaths. The traditional "Hollywood psychopath" is likely to exhibit traits which make them ideal villains. These traits, especially in unison, may not be present in real psychopaths/sociopaths.
