How to recognise a psychopath

Confusing matters further is the fact that it can often be unclear whether someone is just a little odd, or downright dangerous. Here are some ways you can spot a bad egg.

Inflated self-worth: psychopaths usually think very, very highly of themselves. Typically they might seem quite boastful, and can often feel a strong sense of entitlement towards money or status.

Sound like someone you know? Probably not, fortunately true psychopaths aren’t all that common. Still, it’s a good idea to know what to look out for. Read our full guide to spotting a psychopath.
