Is Wall Street Full of Psychopaths?

One estimate suggests that one out of every 10 employees on Wall Street is a psychopath. That's probably off, but consider how many almost psychopaths there are instead.

I've read one of the quoted studies a few months back. It doesn't seem all that surprising anymore, with what we've seen in the past few years.

Larry, it always seems to me that people who are up the food chain in business, especially in large corporations, fall into this category. It makes one wonder if these almost psychopath characteristics are necessary to make some of the morally/ethically tough/atrocious decisions these people seem to make on a daily basis, like firings, etc. Hmmm...food for thought.
