Fictional Psychopaths

Psychopaths in popular fiction and movies generally possess a number of standard characteristics which are not necessarily as common amongst real-life psychopaths. The traditional "Hollywood psychopath" is likely to exhibit some or all of the following traits.

High intelligence, and a preference for intellectual stimulation (music, fine art etc.)
A somewhat vain, stylish, almost "cat-like" demeanor.
Prestige, or a successful career or position.
A calm, calculating and always-in-control attitude.

It is this last feature which is probably most at odds with the typical real-life psychopath: an individual with APD is much more likely to be impulsive, disorganised and short-tempered rather than the smooth-talking self-disciplined character portrayed by Anthony Hopkins or Kiefer Sutherland.
