Chapter 4 focuses on Jon Ronson learning the psychopath test checklist and how to apply it to everyday people in order to categorize them as psychopathic or non-psychopathic, particularly Tony (who we learned lives in Broadmoor from a previous chapter). Ronson meets with Bob Hare to learn more about his psychopathic test at a 3 day seminar. Here Ronson was taught 20 aspects of people to look for when trying to determine the psychopathy of a person. By the end of Chapter 4 Jon Ronson wasn't so focused on if Tony was a psychopath, but if the CEOs and politicians of our world are truly psychopaths. Ronson had an extreme desire to figure out this mystery no matter what the consequences.
I think that giving Ronson the "power" to decided if people are truly psychopaths is a horrendous idea being that he is extremely paranoid. His anxiety could lead him to believe that everyone is a psychopath, considering everyone does fall into one or more of the categories on the psychopath checklist. I'm so confused. If Ronson didn't go to the psychopathic test seminar until after he met Tony, and he met with Constant BEFORE he met Tony, then why does he already know the psychopathic test? Or is he just going through that occurence in his mind? -Yes that's what happened. Ronson should have been more clear. Also I think Charlie Sheen is a psychopath.
