High-functioning dangerous personalities in power

Research indicates that high-functioning individuals with certain psychological traits occupy positions of power and control in society at rates of 10-15%, including roles such as politicians, CEOs, board directors, and surgeons. These individuals are described as fundamentally different in their objectives and predispositions, comparable to the difference between domestic cats and wild lions. The key distinction is that higher-functioning individuals avoid criminal behaviour to protect their freedom, despite sharing similar dangerous traits with lower-functioning counterparts.
