In this madcap journey, a bestselling journalist investigates psychopaths and the industry of doctors, scientists, and everyone else who studies them.
The Psychopath Test is a fascinating journey through the minds of madness. Jon Ronson's exploration of a potential hoax being played on the world's top neurologists takes him, unexpectedly, into the heart of the madness industry. An influential psychologist who is convinced that many important CEOs and politicians are, in fact, psychopaths teaches Ronson how to spot these high-flying individuals by looking out for little telltale verbal and nonverbal clues. And so Ronson, armed with his new psychopath-spotting abilities, enters the corridors of power. He spends time with a death-squad leader institutionalized for mortgage fraud in Coxsackie, New York; a legendary CEO whose psychopathy has been speculated about in the press; and a patient in an asylum for the criminally insane who insists he's sane and certainly not a psychopath.
Ronson not only solves the mystery of the hoax but also discovers, disturbingly, that sometimes the personalities at the helm of the madness industry are, with their drives and obsessions, as mad in their own way as those they study. And that relatively ordinary people are, more and more, defined by their maddest edges.

評分以为是用小故事引出理论研究，没想到全是精神病、精神变态相关故事，专业性科学性的内容很少。作者头脑不够清晰，意志不够坚定 ，专业知识乏善可陈，极易被精神病犯罪分子迷惑，对受害人缺乏同理心。 看了三章，全是引子，越看越看不下去。还以为是老外写的，不能是国内那种打...

评分文風獨特阿，看的時候笑個不停，旁邊的人還以為我抽風瞭……
评分就是好喜歡Jon Ronson><每周上下班坐地鐵能刷齣兩三本書，通勤時間不能放空呀
评分適閤當小品文看。當不得真，但卻要謹慎對待。
评分沒有想象的那麼好，新聞報道式的介紹，揭露一些現象，提齣一些問題而已。
