TFF, I'll try to find the website. I discovered it about a year ago when a friend back in the UK raised the topic of sociopathy.

Meanwhile, two others:

"Statistics say that 1 in every 25 people are high risk sociopaths." - from http://www.consumerpi.com/Sociopath.htm

and:

"...they know right from wrong, they know exactly what they're doing, and they are definitely NOT insane, at least according to the consensus of most scholars (Samenow 2004). In such cases, they usually fall into one of three types...antisocial personality disorder (APD), sociopath, or psychopath -- none of which are the same as insanity or psychosis. APD is the most common type, afflicting about 4% of the general population. Sociopaths are the second most common type, with the American Psychiatric Association estimating that 3% of all males in our society are sociopaths and Stout (2005) estimating 4% of the population. Psychopaths are rare, found in perhaps 1% of the population."

Edit:

Here's another regarding the 'corporate psychopath'

"The latest figures suggest one in ten managers are psychopaths" from http://www.abc.net.au/catalyst/stories/s1360571.htm [2005]

You'll notice when reading around the subject that there's some dispute over the appellations. Also, there are some sociologists who believe that the disorders are treatable, although I've seen no support from doctors.
