Election 2016 has so far provided rich pickings for armchair psychologists—and some professionals too. An academic at prestigious Oxford University has weighed in with his expert opinion and declared both Trump and Clinton are “full blown psychopaths.”
Dr Kevin Dutton has been exploring the psychopathic traits of the candidates and comparing them to other historical figures – such as Adolf Hitler, Saddamm Hussein, and Jesus – using a standard psychometric tool, the Psychopathic Personality Inventory – Revised (PPI-R), reports the Daily Mail.

While learning about these traits, Dutton also looked at which ones can be beneficial and which will lead to destruction.
He explains that being a psychopath is not an all-or-nothing affair, but is on a spectrum along which each of us has our place.
There also seems to be a range of positions that attract individuals on the high end of the psychopathic scale such as business, surgery, the law military and of course, politics.
Previous to this recent study, Dutton contacted the official biographers of many historical leads and asked them to fill out an abbreviated version of the PPI-R in order to create a table showing which traits these figures had.
The table shows each subject’s scores for psychopathy’s eight component traits.
The first three being, social influence (SI), fearlessness (F) and stress immunity (STI), which are collectively known as Fearless Dominance traits – these leaders tend to be more successful.
However, the next four traits that are known as Self-Centered Impulsivity can be destructive.
This group includes Machiavellian Egocentricity (ME), Rebellious Nonconformity (RN), Blame Externalization (BE) and Carefree Nonplanfulness (CN).
And the final trait is Coldheartedness (C), which is helpful for making tough decisions such as sending troops off to war.
The ‘league table’ implies that a majority of these well-known individuals are high scorers, such as Winston Churchill.
HOW DO TRUMP AND CLINTON RANK?
Although Trump and Clinton both scored high on the test, Trump is deemed to be the higher scorer.
The Republican nominee was found to be on par with Hitler, the German leader of the Nazi Party who was blamed for the genocide of millions of Jews, and Idi Amin, president of Uganda who racially persecuted and executed his people without hesitation.
Trump, however, was found to outscore Clinton altogether, but the most was in Fearless Dominance, which is associated with successful presidencies.
However, The Donald also ranked high in ‘self-centered impulsivity’, the set of traits considered negative.
Clinton falls into the category Self-Centered Impulsivity and scored the highest for Machiavellian Egocentricity, which means she has a lack of empathy and sense of detachment from others for the sake of achieving her own goals.
Hillary Clinton is not prone to blatant braggadocio or outrageous outbursts, but critics have persistently questioned her utter disregard for State Department rules on email security. Her biggest critics paint her as a “pathological liar.”
The Democratic nominee sits between Napoleon Bonaparte, who is known for his ruthlessness and policies which were directly responsible for millions of deaths, and Emperor Nero, who murdered his mother and wife and confiscated senators’ property and severely taxed the people to build his own golden home.

Out of all American people, we have selected these 2 to be our choices ? no wonder our country is on a decline
(the rise & fall of the roman empire)
Your choice of words & character associations chosen by this article are such as to imply a very negative subconscious connotation to anyone reading your statement ” The Republican nominee was found to be on par with Hitler, the German leader of the Nazi Party who was blamed for the genocide of millions of Jews, and Idi Amin, president of Uganda who racially persecuted and executed his people without hesitation.” It almost tries to imply that Donald Trump would do the same thing.
Lol, Trump donated to the very Foundation he now slams… Oh, and he a whopping $1,000 to the survivors of 9/11… yea vote for him and you get hillary…

Lies, damned lies and statistics.
I just was wondering if there is any good Souls out there that realize
” the time is now ”
we are running out of water in the US .
we have no clean air and no clean food. The little water we do have is not clean either. We spend trillions of dollars every year for bombs and bullets just so we can kill little kids.
We need to end the war and bring the trillions of dollars that we are spending on bombs and bullets home to our veterans who are homeless and hungry people. To our flood victims. Our educational system. Roads and Bridges are in distress here in the states.
That is our money and we need it home not overseas killing little kids !!! Taxpayers are spending 50% of their taxes on a war for oil. Guess what people we don’t need oil. We have ten different ways to have clean energy but the oil people will not allow us to switch to clean energy, greed is what it’s called. We need to stand up and demand clean energy.
Please stop putting billionaires and millionaires in our White House. They Don’t Care About Us people or the planet that we live on. They only care about money and oil. Please put a doctor in the white house this year because we are a sick and distressed nation and need help.
Vote Jill Stein if you want your children to have clean food clean water and clean air in the future.
If you would prefer that our planet turns into some toxic sludge and everyone has cancer and our kids can not breathe no water no food then vote for Hillary or Trump. Vote Jill Stein if you want the war to end and bring our trillions of dollars home to our people.
These two reasons alone are enough to vote for Jill Stein. That is end the war and we want clean energy !!!
Jill Stein 2016
Your Council on Foreign Relations in action. Trump is an incestuous pedophile ands Hillary is a pedophile ad kills. I just really wish websites would catch up with their research on these horrid things. The CFR is an advisory group to British royalty operating in the U.SD.. Started by Rothschild agents JPMorgan, JFDRockefeller, and Paul Warburg in 1911 to buy up newspapers and control debate in America, left wing/right wing, conservative/liberal, democrat/republican, that sort of thing. Those bases for Hegellians do not actua;lly exist except for people trying top fit the pairs of shoes.
I would describe her as a sociopath rather than psychopath. All the same, she has no remorse, a remarkable sense of entitlement, is callous and has demonstrated this trait over and over in alarming detail on video (laughed about the child rape victim that she herself victimized in defense of an incredibly violent perpetrator). Her husband is also a sociopath…impulsive, thrill seeking, ‘charming’, sexually deviant, sense of entitlement, lack of remorse (lies to your face, the face of the entire population no less). Both are self centered, do not care about anyone (including each other). I expect her to bloom into full blown delusional behavior if she hasn’t already…I call it ‘sociopathy in bloom’ and truly, it will be an interesting deterioration.
Oxford university Is completely unreliable and has only a reputation but zero ability. To top that psychology is comparable to Hitler’s ideology.
So Jesus and St. Paul have a psychopathy score of 157, 5 points higher than Hillary’s 152? What bunk.
