In this madcap journey, a bestselling journalist investigates psychopaths and the industry of doctors, scientists, and everyone else who studies them.
The Psychopath Test is a fascinating journey through the minds of madness. Jon Ronson's exploration of a potential hoax being played on the world's top neurologists takes him, unexpectedly, into the heart of the madness industry. An influential psychologist who is convinced that many important CEOs and politicians are, in fact, psychopaths teaches Ronson how to spot these high-flying individuals by looking out for little telltale verbal and nonverbal clues. And so Ronson, armed with his new psychopath-spotting abilities, enters the corridors of power. He spends time with a death-squad leader institutionalized for mortgage fraud in Coxsackie, New York; a legendary CEO whose psychopathy has been speculated about in the press; and a patient in an asylum for the criminally insane who insists he's sane and certainly not a psychopath.
Ronson not only solves the mystery of the hoax but also discovers, disturbingly, that sometimes the personalities at the helm of the madness industry are, with their drives and obsessions, as mad in their own way as those they study. And that relatively ordinary people are, more and more, defined by their maddest edges.

评分Just can't stop reading it . 我觉得作者基本上搞出了篇精神病学的学术论文然后科普叙事化了，但是仍然不失严谨和逻辑，对科普著作写作有指导意义。 写的很流畅易读还偶尔点缀个段子，写法也比较引人入胜，搞点悬念啥的，读第一章时还以为是在读有龙纹身的女生那本书。 读完...
评分最近国内外食人魔，肢解怪的新闻频频出现，从概率上讲，你很可能遇见过冷血精神病患者。这样的人占总人口的0.5%至1%。如果排除妇女和儿童（至今难以解释的是，很少有妇女是冷血精神病患者），以及那些已经被关进大牢的人，可以算出大概有25万冷血精神病患者在美国自由地生活。 ...
