>I think that is an excellent insight. Scary to think I might have a stronger drive there. But now that I think about it, when I was a first year student in psychology, we had to take the personality tests ourselves that we were learning to administer. I was kind of appalled at the result on one. It was the highest on the scale that reflects a lot of anger issues. It's actually called "psychopathic deviate", which is a horrible name for it. If you look at the content of it, it's much easier to be empathic about this scale, but the name is SO off-putting...
Oh lordy, now I think I've shared too much. :)
