https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4059069/table/T1/This is a check-list psychologists use to diagnose psychopathy.
20 attributes. To each you distribute points.
"Doesn't apply" - 0 points
"Rarely applies" - 1 points
"Commonly applies" - 2 points
If the result is 30 or more, you are a full-blown psychopath. If it's in the 20s, you are a borderline-psychopath.
I saw this list... and I immediately had to to think of you-know-who. My jaw literally dropped.
1 Glibness-Superficial Charm
2 Grandiose Sense of Self Worth
3 Need for Stimulation
4 Pathological Lying
5 Conning-Manipulative
6 Lack of Remorse or Guilt
7 Shallow Affect
8 Callous-Lack of Empathy
9 Parasitic Lifestyle
10 Poor Behavioral Controls
11 Promiscuous Sexual Behavior
12 Early Behavioral Problems
13 Lack of Realistic, Long-Term Goals
14 Impulsivity
15 Irresponsibility
16 Failure to Accept Responsibility
17 Many Marital Relationships
18 Juvenile Delinquency
19 Revocation of Conditional Release
20 Criminal Versatility
By my count, you-know-who gets a score of 23.
But then again:

So what's it like to be a psychopath?
Fallon puts it this way:
"I don't get anxious about things, and if I've done something wrong, I'm challenged by somebody catching me." He also says his pain threshold is very high, consistent with psychopathy. "I drove my dentist crazy, root canals with no anesthesia ... I think it's just a kick. The way I feed that particular monkey is being around danger."
