To a large extent you’re right, but I think it’s not inaccurate to say that EG ceos of corporations are more likely to be examples of effective sociopaths. I can’t remember where I read that statistic but the rate of psychopathy among wealthy CEOS is higher than the average.
I’ve heard the same statistic, but there are a lot more ASPD diagnoses than there are CEOs. The former can be overrepresented among the latter (perhaps because it confers an advantage in business if you also have a bunch of other rare prerequisites) without the disorder being good news for its sufferers’ effectiveness on average.
