OCTOBER 1, 2012 Monday  A Psychopathic Trait Helps Presidents Lead U.S. presidents who score high on "fearless dominance," an anxiety-free charm that is often associated with psychopathology, tend to perform better in office than other presidents, according to an analysis led by Scott O. Lilienfeld of Emory University. The president who scores highest on this trait, by far, is Theodore Roosevelt; other high scorers include John F. Kennedy, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Ronald Reagan, and Bill Clinton. The lowest scorer is Herbert Hoover. Barack Obama was not included in the analysis.
