This was a different one from the more general MMPI that the gov't uses, and was portrayed as being for private companies

Recently saw posted on some other board an article about some questionnaire for detecting the 'sociopaths' among job applicants.

DO you agree with me, or have I just spouted out a pile of crap! I would like to see what you gents think. So if serial killers are predisposed to kill, does that mean everyone with the gene will? No, rather it is a result of maladaptive condoning which exacerbates the problem and ultimately they end up acting on their genetic impulses. In addition, in ancestral times the traits associated with serial killers would had been useful in aiding survival as murder would have helped gather resources. Ted Bundy was a ladies man, Harold Shipman was regarded as the best Dr in Manchester by some of his patients). Indeed, this appears to be the case with this stereotypical variation of serial killers as friends are always shocked as they seem so normal and friendly (e.g. These effectively are “mating assets” to them so their chances of reproducing and passing on their genes are enhanced significantly. But organized serial killers also have an abundance of “positive” personality traits that can be categorized as coming under the remit of persona such as sociableness, cunningness, charismaticness, intelligence, emotionally aloof and unaffected by criticisms. So back to my theory serial killers generally speaking have similar traits to each other in terms of their modus operandi (behaviour, methods etc), with their signature (motivation) being slightly different. In addition, studies of reciprocation show that we are subconsciously inclined to give to people who give us. In ancestral times this would have been important in the case of hunting. Specifically, we have learned that sometimes working together reaps more rewards than by working individually. However, here is where the problem lies, co-operation and kindness are evolved strategies to aid our selfishness. Of course, you will say in response that altruism can exist as some people are co-operative and relatively generous. You see, altruism cannot exist as our selfish genes put itself forward before the well-being of others. I will give you my psychological view on it serial killers possess a genetic adaptation that evolved in ancestral times to aid survival. Like everything to do with psychology and indeed general human science, academic theory can only be tested and generalized with to an extent, but certainly there appears to be a two-way interconnected process in terms of what causes someone to be a serial killer. What makes a serial killer? Are certain individuals genetically predisposed to have serial killer attributes or are they learned through environmental conditioning? Since the forum is rather quiet with no posts I have decided to post something in order to provoke some insight from you guys
