This article reads like a corporate presentation, and it's a tad prejudiced towards people with schizotypal personality disorders. Maybe it should be reviewed for bias. Coediteranno ( talk) 03:56, 10 June 2016 (UTC)
Name me one thing that isnt sourced ? Are you looking at the right article ? I could easily list dozens of other psychology articles that are genuinely sparsely cited but not this one. -- Penbat ( talk) 14:58, 1 November 2014 (UTC)
The sources are very poor, mostly from news articles and popular writers instead of psychology journals. Dutton especially has been criticized for a loose definition of the diagnosis. The spelling isn't great either, "organisations" really?

'Snakes in Suits' is based on sound research from Babiak and Hare, two leading researchers. 'Corporate Psychopathy: talking the walk' is a genuine high-quality scientific paper, and they quote nearly 4% of top corporate personnel as clinical psychopaths. However, Dutton's assertions re jobs. are based on a website form that any 7 year old can fill in and are scientifically meaningless. http://www.thegoodpsychopath.com/great-british-good-psychopath-survey/ and https://www.dmarge.com/2017/10/psychopaths-professions-study.html 78.151.72.148 ( talk) 10:52, 17 October 2017 (UTC)
This article reads oddly. I think the tone is akin to that of an essay rather than an encyclopedia article and, as others have highlighted, the sources are sub-par. I suggest a rewrite, with a focus on summarising studies.-- Hazhk ( talk) 11:21, 7 August 2018 (UTC)
In the section describing the top ten occupations with psychopaths present, what is the difference between a journalist and someone who is tv or radio (media)? I know someone who can be described as both and the two occupations seem to be the same. Can this be made more clear? 96.91.182.205 ( talk) 14:12, 5 July 2022 (UTC)
This article seems to take it as a given that there's a preponderance of "corporate psychopaths" in upper management, and cites only sources that agree with this view. The belief that there are people with extreme forms of antisocial personality disorder (characterized by patterns of recklessness and impulsivity) who are commonly found in upper management or as CEOs of corporations (when they make up such a small percent of the general population) is fanciful and almost certainly incorrect. Films like American Psycho aside, in the real world psychopathic behavior will get you fired immediately.
The studies that promote this notion of a "corporate psycho" rely entirely on questionnaires that seem to encourage the belief that this is common, which in turn encourage the responders to engage in psychiatric name-calling against coworkers (and they may have legitimate reasons for disliking a coworker, but not for diagnosing them with a psychiatric disorder). The evidence in the literature supporting this view is weak and unscientific, and this article should present studies that dispute this notion altogether (such as [1]) to maintain NPOV.
