Yes, that was quite sloppy of me. Psychoticism is more correct than
psychopathy. AndI no more meant by "high on psychopathy" to say that
Mark is a psychopath (APD) any more than you would mean to say that Mark
is psychotic is you said that he were "high on psychoticism." People
who score high on psychoticism are not necessarily or even usually
psychopaths, although they are even less likely to be psychotics.
