Are There Any other (diagnosed) high-functioning psychopaths that are working in high-finance ?

When I started to my career in IB, I realized that I wasn't having the same problems as my colleagues so I decided to go to a psychologist. That year, after many tests, I was diagnosed with high-functioning psychopathy.

As a PM who spent the last 10 year in the HF industry, I saw many other succesful people that had similar behaviour to mine. When I was diagnosed, being a psychopath wasn't considered ''cool'', so even though most of you would diagnose yourselves as ''psychopaths'' ''sociopaths'' or ''sigmas/alphas'', take your shit somewhere else and talk about your experience if you have diagnosed by a medical professional.

Please, share your experience.

 

do you live in NYC ? if you do please share your advice.

I'm a psycopath too but having trouble with living in NYC. I don't have any basement nor place to keep my ex-girlfriends. How do you do it ?

 

1) Psychiatrists diagnose mental illnesses not psychologists

2) There's no actual diagnosis as "high-functioning psychopath". Psychopathy/sociopathy are traits. Anti social personality disorder (ASPD) is the diagnosis and it doesn't come in a spectrum like "high-functioning". That's a term made up by media/entertainment i.e. Sherlock (tv show).

Cool story, bro.
