It is also reported that most psychopaths tend to have attractive physical characteristics and presence, thus making the detachment and acknowledgement of threat even more difficult to conceive. But, psychopaths were also found to have an emotional brain capacity much smaller than that of the average individual making it difficult to feel the same level of emotion a non-psychopathic individual could.
