    It appears that psychopaths can be identified to some degree by their musical preferences - and they like rap. The least popular is music like "My Sharona" and Sia’s Titanium, which sounds like mainstream pop to me.

    From the UK Guardian:
    The study puts to bed Hollywood myths such as psychopath's preference for classical music, as was seen in "Silence of the Lambs," and also a preference for mainstream pop, as was portrayed in "American Psycho".

    Finally, all the damage being done by Hollywood showing psychopaths listening to classical music will end. I only hope that it isn't too late to fix the HUUUUUGE problem and damage caused when Hollywood movies showed psychopaths listening to classical movies.

    LOL. It won't end. And of course you entirely miss the point of the whole article.

    Lol...

    Well if they are going to choose rap you'd think they listen to something more hardcore than a song by a 90s R&B group and Eminem's most family-friendly radio hit.

    Yes. That scientists may be on the verge of being able to identify people who are likely to be psychopaths based on their musical tastes.

    Well that's a stretch.

    What do you want to do with that information? Instill an eventual "minority report" system that has a 'pre-crime' division?

    You faux libertarians are hilarious.

    This is an article from the UK Guardian, a lefty newspaper if ever there was one.

    Psychopaths prefer Trump over other candidates, so I'm ok with this.

    Another study found an unsettling accuracy in using computer algorithms to tell who is gay by analyzing photographs. Lots of potential for totalitarians.

    Throw in a little mandatory genetic screening and we'll have the master race in no time!

    If you like rap music, you are more likely to be a psychopath than the general population.

    If you watch Faux "News," you are more likely to be a sociopath than the general population.
