      There's no way that he himself doesn't know he's a sociopath. It's just that he's proud of it. I've never met a narcissist(that admits it) that's not proud of being one. They only hear the things that sound good to their ears about what a narcissist is. It's definitely the same with Putin. They call him a gangster. He loves that. He doesn't walk like that normal. It's the crip swag and it's on purpose.

    Thank you, this is a very important interview. The last few years are a wake -up call on many levels. And Brian Klass is absolutely right, we to obligate all politicians to a psychopathy test, and even a full psychological trait evaluation; even though the psychopaths will attempt to find a way to avoid it. As a teacher of Lowenian Character Analysis (Bodytypes) We see that the personality trait of psychopathic tendency is very widespread, up 20% of people. They orientate to leadership. But not all are inherently malevolent. Putin has grown into his latent psychopathy, he was earlier a compensated Oral character. Such a personality has inferiorrity complex and compensates through moving towards more psychopathic behaviour. As Putin has had 23 yeras of unchallenged power he has had an environment to boost his malignant psychopathy. Western democracies have basically limited their psychopathic leader to 8-10 years. If Thatcher or Trump were given 20+ years as Putin, who knows how far they'd go. Feedback to Ronson at video point 09:20 Psychopath do not aspire to be the smartest person in the room, they want to be the most powerful or influential person in the room. QAnon are obviously not the smartest people in any room.

      He almost certainly is but you clearly haven't studied psychology.
      As a science, it isn't perfect.
      All scientific study is a work in progress, we will never answer all the questions we have, there will always be more work to do.
      The subject matter, the human mind, is not an easy subject to understand.
      It brings its own challenges when developing studies that rule out conflating factors and provide data to support or disprove a hypothesis.
      That doesn't mean it's not a valid discipline, it just comes with its own inherent difficulties.
      Well designed, rigorous, peer reviewed research attempts to work to further our understanding.
      Like I say, a work in progress. Like all other scientific study is.

    I can be more specific I believe in this as a I was a trial lawyer that consistently did psychiatric cases and obtained record damages in one case. Putin has arrested development and never made a proper transition through puberty from childhood to adulthood. The result is that he is a fantasist with fully blown narcissistic personality disorder. Putin was not only bullied by local street kids because of his size but beaten by his father when he returned home. These abused kids believe that their survival is under threat and have to choose between their life and identity and choose life. They learn to lie and deceive and fake being normal from studying others to avoid being bashed and talk their way out of continuous brutal thrashings. Their absence of identity gives them a ''talent'' to see clearly into other people because their vision is not obscured by projection of their own identity onto others where the rest have skewed vision of others in varying degrees because we project at least some part of our identity onto others even our kids. Putin does not and his special skill is his infirmity. We also project a full emotional range onto others even people we do not like usually because of what emotions they give priority to. Putin has enormous gaps and omissions in his emotional range that is nearly entirely made up of identity envy satisfied by controlling and manipulating others leading to obsessive long-range planning to achieve his fantasies of control and power and cannibalize identities to restore the identity he forfeited. There is truly no one there. He has always been like this note the Moscow apartment building bombings to manufacture crises to get elected, the poisonings of opponents and even the Breslin child hostage massacre with his modus operandi of acting through Chechens for mob like hits. As he ages his ability to conceal his lack of identity and his nefarious actions decrease due to normal changes in the brain relating to changing mental strengths and weaknesses. However, he has always had the ambition to acquire Ukraine and more since puberty and he saw an opportunity over the debacle in Afghanistan. The total absence of conscience in this personality disorder type can give the false impression of being imaginative and clever when they are not. The other emotion that they have is suppressed range that on the other end of their emotional spectrum is impulsiveness where Putin acts purely on impulse without thought and lashes out with his military crazy strategic demands to immediately reverse adverse outcomes. Between these two contradictory emotional extremes there is nothing. These types of personality flaws do not make these people deep dark and twisted but instead they are pathologically superficial defined by their emotional absences. As to being a fantasist correct me if my recollection is wrong but during Putin's puberty Soviet state television in the early 60s had a soap opera melodrama on KGB agents where they led an adventurous life travelling the world on missions that included poisoning people. Putin loved this. The Kremlin did this in response to James Bond movies like ''From Russia with Love''. This further explains why Putin sought to join the KGB at 16. This fantasy obsession coupled with the NPD explains the western Russian oligarchs where Putin sees himself as the super-KGB agent a fantasy exacerbated by the fact that his true KGB career was mediocre, and he was never a field agent. The rich Russian oligarchs in the West are intended to be '' in plain sight'' sleeper agents penetrating the western financial system on behalf of the fantasy KGB super spy Putin and these sleeper agents get the benefit of their wealth but must respond when activated. This fantasy ignores the fact that by putting large wealth in the western financial system conversely means the West penetrates the oligarchs and Russia, like the freezing of $300 billions of Russian assets. The failure of some oligarchs to respond to Putin's activation of their sleeper status because they like the money and living in the West has led to oligarchs falling out of windows, poisonings and other murders of oligarchs abroad. Another symptom of Putin's personality disorder is that he does not admit that his plans backfire to himself but sees them instead as a subjective personal injustice. If you study how Putin sees the West, it comes from movies, and this too is a fantasy. The West in Putin's fantasy reality from his speeches and interviews is more like some theme park on a distant planet in a faraway galaxy. The third behavioral point to remember is that Putin is a KGB lawyer that knows very well how the law on illegal wars of aggression work and the KGB tactic to avoid this law in Hungary, Czechoslovakia and Afghanistan that he did not admit backfired in Ukraine until his illegal annexations when he then hatched a plan with the Chinese to destroy the international legal system through q dirty deal that the stupid media misunderstands. If you know this law, you can track all of Putin's behavior including his clinical insanity. I have much more but I think this gives a more specific diagnosis of his clinical not legal insanity. Do not do a deal with him I know what he is up to and he does want a deal and has a nefarious plan backed by China that is some of my other posts.

    Once you sarcifice a major part of your life to be an explorer of psychopathy than and only are capable to answer this question. Emotions that are of certain human characteristic are a key in the recognition of these individuals. Mimicry is their secret of survival. Education and inteligence gets them into a higher level what is sociopathy. It is not like a lot of folks would state to be 'something you are born with". Studing past royals it could a deffine a lack of certain expresions of warmth on part of a care giver and could be a culprit. Children raised in institutions where close and carring contacts are rare tend to get a certain traits of psychopathy on that account. Putins life trajectory would preclude of him becoming a normal individual (as if there was one), in form.

Have you a degree in psychology or even better a degree in forensic psychology with expertise in assessing personality disorder etc. But this seems to be completely avoided.
