You'd be surprised the number of "high functioning" Socio- and Psychopaths there are in society. Not all are criminals, they manage or make the determination to "go with the flow", to be nails which do not stand up to be hammered, to recognize and accept the usefulness and need for everything which makes up society. All of which makes most psycho & sociopaths unqualified for this wikia.

Those that DO belong here, are the extremes. Most often highly fictionalized with poorly presented Differentials.

Compound this with the fact there are like THREE online articles discussion the symptoms which are repeated/reposted/copied ad nauseum which are also conflicting as to which is which and no wonder the average contributor has no idea what the differences are.

For the layman the best article is Psychopathy.

At any rate, I heartily recommend just combining them under Psychopaths, since Sociopaths is a subtype, and possibly as a subcategory to Mentally Ill.
