If you are reading this column, there is a relatively high chance you are a psychopath. If you also work in the financial services industry, the odds are even higher. This is based on the latest research by Kevin Dutton, a professor at Oxford university, who found that readers of the Financial Times had more psychopathic traits than readers of other newspapers and that the profession with the most psychopaths was financial services.
