The Odds Of Meeting A Sociopath.

I think that the odds of meeting a sociopath are 50/50. You may ask why? Here is the method to my madness for calculating this.

It is known that 1 in 25 people is a sociopath so keep this in mind. But lets keep sociopaths out of this for the moment. 

Take a normal introduction to a group of people. Now what are the chances that in that group of people that you will have a new best friend ? I would say that if you would work it out it would be around 1 in 25 introductions that you will “click” or have something in common with one of them, like one of them etc.

Now back to the sociopath, if a sociopath is introduced to someone, they will usually attempt to become that persons best new friend, classing everyone that they meet as a potential new victims.

So I guess if 1 in 25 people is genuine in becoming a friend to you and 1 in 25 people is a sociopath that also wants to become a friend to you then by my calculations that is a 50/50 chance of the next person who wants to become a new friend of yours actually being a sociopath.

Scary isnt it.
