It was an interesting article, thanks for posting it up.
As has been mentioned previously (yeah, i will mention it again haha) a lot of high level managers, CEOs, "self-starters" etc could be defined as sociopaths. Driven, goal orientated, think outside of the box types. It begins to get abit iffy when you start seeing people who lack empathy, don't think about others, have/show little emotion etc, these can see still be traits of perfectly normal, goal-driven people, but they can also signal something potentially darker. I know, have worked with, worked for and have had clients that show all of these attributes. Are they sociopaths? psychopaths? I don't know, but they certainly get in and get the job done

Like I said not all are, but enough would just as happily drop you along the route with orders to never be seen again if you were perceived as a threat. Or worse from there. I know a few who would happily shoot threats to their groups on the spot. The thing is with these guys, you're always going to get what you give. Treat them with respect and they'll be some of the best comrades you've ever had. Stab them in the back and you'd best have your funeral plans already paid for. Lol Not always true, some people are plain and simply, just fuzzboxs. They make believe crap in their heads and decide they are right about something and will trod over anyone they perceive as being weaker than them. Sociopaths included.

That's easy to find in all kinds though. And like I said not all socios are dangerous inherently. That means some are too then. Many people misassociate sociopathy with psychosis.

most people fail to see beyond the label.
