Hi Jeffrey and Fini, I'm in the UK. So I want to explain that here in the UK, a sociopath isn't someone who has a character trait of tending 'to go it alone'; but used as a highly offensive insult, only beaten by its close relation, psychopath.

In the UK a 'Sociopath' is a Mental Disorder, where the sociopath's characteristics include, no regard for right or wrong, violence towards others and their property, no guilt or remorse for their behaviour, persistentl lies, deceit and exploiting of others - they usually pursue a life of criminal activity and make up the largest part of the prison population.

Sometimes, they avoid criminality and instead, display their character traits by callousness and manipulation of people; in so doing, they often achieve high office.
