Trump is more of a psychopath than Hitler, other U.S. presidential contenders, researcher finds Tweet ema GOP nominee Donald Trump was ranked the most psychopathic of all the U.S. presidential contenders.(CARLO ALLEGRI/REUTERS) BY LAURA BULT NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Updated: Tuesday, August 23, 2016, 3:45 PM Maybe the question has crossed your mind: Is Donald Trump a psychopath? An expert on the personality disorder took a crack at answering that question and found the GOP nominee to be even more psychopathic than Adolf Hitler. Kevin Dutton, a research psychologist at the University of Oxford, penned a piece for Scientific American magazine detailing his psychological analysis of the four leading U.S. presidential contenders and found Trump ranked the highest on the psychopath spectrum. Dutton admits that by conducting his pseudoscientific test, he is violating the American Psychiatric Association's golden "Goldwater" rule prohibiting psychonalysis of a subject without treating him or her. He says he felt compelled to respond to the "armchair diagnoses declaring several of the frontrunners to be narcissists, megalomaniacs or psychopaths," he wrote. Adolf Hitler scored just below Trump on the psychopath test. (HUGO JAEGER./TIME & LIFE PICTURES/GETTY IMAGE) Dutton employs a battery of 56 questions for his analysis known as the Psychopathic Personality Inventory—Revised (PPI-R.) The quiz is intended to quantify what experts consider to be both positive and negative psychopathic tendencies common among the world’s leaders, even relatively benign ones like Abraham Lincoln and Elizabeth I. To measure these traits the test uses the following categories: “Fearless Dominance," which includes what are considered the positive leadership traits of social influence, fearlessness and stress immunity; “Self-Centered Impulsivity,” which includes Machiavellian self-interest, rebellious nonconformity, blame externalization and carefree non-planfulness; and, finally, “coldheartedness.” Former Uganda President Idi Amin scored just above Trump on the pschopath test. (CLAUDE SALHANI/SYGMA VIA GETTY IMAGES) Dutton commissioned the help of an unnamed BBC political news anchor to fill out the test to the best of his or her knowledge of the four leading contenders in the presidential primaries: Cruz, Trump, Sanders and Clinton. In order to analyze historical leaders, he asked historians and biographers to take the PPI-R test on the deceased leaders’ behalf. Trump beat out all the other candidates on “coldheartedness,” ranking him nearly as high as former Ugana President Idi Amin and just above the Nazi leader and William the Conqueror. When compared with his fellow presidential contenders, Trump was roughly on par with Cruz, his dispatched GOP primary foe, Cruz, in most of the psychopathic qualities listed above — but Trump pulled ahead of the Texas senator when it came to “carefree non-planfulness” and “social influence.” In other words, Trump ranked higher in impulsivity and persuasiveness. Clinton scored below Cruz and Trump on Dutton's psychopath test.(CAROLYN KASTER/AP) Clinton ranked third among the four presidential contenders, even though she tied with Trump in both the “rebellious nonconformity” and “blame externalization” categories. Sanders is the least psychopathic of the bunch, ranking lowest on all eight subcategories. John F. Kennedy, Bill Clinton and Andrew Jackson ranked highest on the psychopath scale of all presidents between George Washington and George W. Bush. Of all the other historical leaders, Saddam Hussein had the most psychopathic tendencies.
