Psychopaths in senior managerial positions - new research into psychopathy and intelligence

Carolyn Bate, aged 22, was still an undergraduate when she carried out her groundbreaking research into the links between psychopathy and intelligence, using a range of special tests and analysing the data. She wrote up her findings for the final-year project in her BSc Psychology degree. Not only was she awarded an exceptionally high mark of 85 per cent, her work has also been accepted for publication by the peer-reviewed Journal of Forensic Psychiatry and Psychology - an unusual distinction for an undergraduate. In this video she talks about her research.

I've never heard primary and secondary psychopathy explained in this way. Besides that.. if you measure sweat responses in 'secondary psychopaths' how do you know when they are exited and when they are shocked (and they are normal). Because the test would have the same outcome.
But your explanation of primary and secondary psychopathy is very confusing because other psychologist relate this to cold and warm psychopathy.

I think of primary psychopaths as those who are born that way, and may come from good homes; while secondary psychopaths (also known as sociopaths or proto-psychopaths) are those who, whilst perhaps having some genetic psychopathic tendencies, are primarily created by the environment, perhaps by childhood trauma, parental abuse, growing up in a bad area, etc., and may therefore be treatable. Genetic, or primary, psychopaths are not treatable; indeed, attempts at treatment have made some of them worse, because they learn new ways to manipulate and con others.

I understand in this way: just as people can fool lie detectors (so you would think the person is truthful), psychopaths can fool psychopath detectors (so you conclude they are neurotypical), and they can develop this ability if they're smart. From an evolutionary perspective, it makes sense: a stupid psychopath -the one that you see in prison- is a predator that seems like a predator, whereas a smart psychopath -the one in business or politics- is a wolf that is able to the wear skin (never better said) or a sheep (neurotypical). Therefore, the smart ones can camouflage better and be even more successful predators, so it makes sense as an adaptation or advantage for the more evolved (smart) version.

She's lying. At 4:28 about psychopaths not having a concept of hurting people.
Looking to right side indicates constructing sound.
And she lies about other things to.
Psychopaths have emotions, but dialed down substantially. And they do understand emotions, that's how they are able to manipulate.
