New Study: The number of psycho women is five times higher than thought.

According to him, older reports of a 10 - to - 1 report between men and women with psychopathic traits may have been overcome. In his studies, conducted through the measurement of the Self-Profession Report by Levenson (LSRP), Boddy traces the basic features (principal capacity) that does not include aggressive antisocial behavior, but characteristics such as manipulation, emotional insensibility and egocentricity.

His results show that the ratio of genus psychosis may be close to 1.14 to 1, which means that women with psychopathic traits may be more than five times more frequent than previously thought.

He points out that psychosis women show behavior in the refined “ ” or soft “ “: less physical violence and more emotional manipulation, lies, verbal aggression and predatory relationships to gain power, money or social position.

Boddy adds that traditional tests, such as LSRP, are unfair, because part of the scheme measures antisocial behavior and physical aggression, aspects that are typical of male psychopaths, but not for soft “models” female.

In his research, about 1% of men pass the classic threshold for clinical psychosis, but 23% of them have traits that are problematic to society. Moreover, 12 to 13% of women in official working environments display “enough features” to become disturbing.

According to Boddy, this reality has serious consequences for criminal justice and for businesses: we cannot assume that women in charge are automatically <x0m human or more empathetic”. For this reason, the psychometric assessment in leadership selection may be necessary.

Boddy called for a refocusing of diagnostics, suggesting methods that take into account the signs of female “psypatia” more rightly and without gender bias. /Periscope/
