Image:Mask-of-sanity-book-cover.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. ....

There are numerous footnote citations to "Cleckley" in the article, but the edition used for these citation is not listed in the references. I have the 1982 edition and the page numbers referenced are not from this edition. The material cited is not on page numbers given. Mattisse 21:40, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
09-Sep-2008: Below is the list of 16 characteristics from July 2008, for making a sanity check that the article has all 16:
On 1-September-2008, someone had deleted #16 (possibly as a prank, or a psychopathic motive). The list is an obvious target for vandals. - Wikid77 ( talk) 08:59, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
To the 16 prime characteristics of a sociopath should be added a 17th, that of cowardice. Sociopaths are the biggest cowards ever. This is why they will prey on vulnerable people, especially children. Any strong willed personality will scare off a sociopath. The sociopath will give up on such a strong person and go in search of someone weaker. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.145.178.82 ( talk) 18:06, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
It's true that Psychopaths are cowards, look at all the politicians who dodged the draft and then send people into war and psychopaths do go for easy targets, maybe it's because they are lazy and they don't want to put too much effort into their crimes, Psychopaths like to get the most reward with the least amount of effort. Cowardice might be confused with laziness. But if you look at people like Adolf Hiter, there are signs of fearlessness about them. Adolf Hitler took some very dangerous jobs in World War 1 and he did earn those Iron Crosses. Watch this video at 8 minutes, 35 seconds, showing Martin Bryant. It's a good example that psychopaths are fearless: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yv0LgmGtc7w. I think the psychopath has a different type of fear than normal people do, that's something that should be looked into more. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.148.75.158 ( talk) 19:56, 7 April 2013 (UTC)
