Earlier today, someone had posted the traits of a sociopath and how the list fit Mitt Romney nearly to a “T.” I decided to do a bit of research to firm up exactly what a sociopath is, but when doing so, I discovered that there are two types of personality disorders which are very similar to one another – one being a sociopath and the other a psychopath. Is Romney one or the other? After reading through about a dozen or so sites and journals, I FIRMLY believe he is, and I find that he fits the traits listed for a psychopath rather than a sociopath. In most cases, these two are nearly the same, but the primary difference is that sociopaths are very disorganized and cannot maintain relationships, whereas psychopaths can. Often times, serial killers are classified as one or the other. Although I have a lot of disdain for Romney, I do not believe he has the capability of being a killer – other than a job-killer.
