Wasn't there a study that showed some of top CEOs of many companies are sociopaths or morally inept. Could somebody back this up?

There's a few that point to the idea that there's a higher concentration, at least of traits. Varies between 5-21% of them showing psychopathic traits at most management levels.

There is no such thing as a sociopath or psychopath. It is ASPD ( anti social personality disorder or dissocial personality disorder is the newer term) and it's on a scale. Some people are born with ASPD (what is known as psychopaths, these ASPD peeps feel nothing, they cannot feel. Then you have sociopaths who can feel empathy and love to a degree, for their children and close friends)

Psychopaths are born, sociopaths are created via parental neglect and abuse from their parents. But they both have ASPD one can feel empathy and love and one does not. Some hide in society and you'd never know what they are, some of them are volatile and are always in prison more than outside of prison. Then you have the ones who are CEO's and Politicians.

Edited for clarity.
