From another article linked from the Daily Mail:
“Dr Jaleel’s first sign of a psychopath is someone who leads a ‘parasitic life’ in that they ‘leech off’ others rather than doing anything for themselves...
Secondly Dr Jaleel said people who are psychopaths have extremely an short temper which can be triggered in seconds.
‘You may see that a psychopath will be completely normal, they’ll be having a normal conversation then there will be one thing that triggers them and they’ll explode with anger,’ he said...
Dr Jaleel said promiscuity is a sign of psychopathy where people will jump from one ‘short term sexual relationship’ to another quickly...
There are a number of early behavioural problems that can indicate a person could grow up to be a psychopath.
‘The signs of psychopathy can sometimes become evident during childhood, some of the things that psychopaths may have done as a child include significant violence,’ Dr Jaleel said.
‘Sometimes you’ll see that children have acted in a really strange way, they’ve been violent towards pets or other animals or they’ve been really aggressive towards other children.’
Finally, the psychiatrist said a lack of empathy is a big sign of a psychopath.
‘Psychopaths do not care about other people’s feelings. In fact if you ever approach a psychopath to tell them about how you’re feeling about a situation, a psychopath will make it very clear that they could not care less,’ Dr Jaleel said. “

Now my X is leeching off her mother
And applies equally to man and women.
Far too many women are put in hospitals by males who knock them around because the men think they own the women.
I know several women who have been that road. They were fortunate enough to have escaped from that toxic relationship.
“Finally, the psychiatrist said a lack of empathy is a big sign of a psychopath.”
Years ago I read that the easiest way to diagnose a psychopath was to yawn. Most people will be triggered into an empathetic yawn. Psychos are not. :-)
