Socionics Types of Serial Killers

How can one type a psychopath? They don't have normal human emotions. They are what you want them to be.

Psychopaths are closer to regular folk than you would like to think, and if everyone else has a type, they certainly do too.

they still process information in consistent ways, express distinct energy levels, etc.

ironically enough, the two psychopaths I interacted with most recently, were my duals. such a lovely shame.


also, serial killer ≠ psychopath in ANY CAPACITY. in fact, the majority of psychopaths don't even tend towards that end, the reasons being: generally high intelligence, pursuit of short-term satisfaction and entertainment, and emotional shallowness (most serial killers have deep-rooted shit that they are co-possessively imposing onto reality; psychopaths do not have the capacity to assess emotional reactions within a broader context, as information to them is neutral and immediate).

I feel like psychopaths would only be likely to be serial killers if they were VERY DEEPLY fucked up; they have a more direct instinct for pure self-preservation than normal humans. However I think they would be more likely to act out violently if directly threatened than normal humans, given the increased focus on self-preservation combined with lack of remorse and poor impulse control.

Normal people, on the other hand, are much more likely to experience acute feelings of persecution, separation from society, deep emotional hurt, etc, and act out against humanity as a result.
