TAKE THE PSYCHOPATH TEST



A new study has found that the colleague sitting at the desk next to you in the office could well be an 'office psychopath'.

The study found psychopaths come in all shapes and sizes - and there are far more of them out there than people think.


Researchers have warned people to keep their eyes on corporate psychopaths because they willl eventually try to stab you in the back - in a work sense.

This simple test should be used to find out if you are working with one.
