[QUOTE="Icarus, post: 262720, member: 2968"] The Sociopath is defined by his worldview, his freedom from petty moral constraints, his ambition and his risk-seeking. He is not defined by his position in the corporate ladder, but by his [i]trajectory[/i]. "Up or out" is the Sociopath's trajectory. The Sociopath may be a pawn now, but he's trying to maneuver upwards. [u]The Sociopath's work ethic is conditional[/u]. He may work very hard and efficiently, but only if he benefits from it. He sacrifices comfort for cash, visibility, publicity, credibility, a good reputation, access to investors, etc. The Loser is a comfort-maximizer and risk-minimizer. The Clueless tends to have an [u]unconditional[/u] work ethic and sacrifices himself for nothing. Perhaps for a meager raise. [/QUOTE]
