Is Jon Jones a sociopath/psychopath?

[L0ki]

I have a Masters in Psych.

mental disorders can absolutely be attained later in life.

Ever since I first heard Jon speak, there was something very off with the way he answers.

It seems that way every time he has talked after that.

Absolutely he's a narcissist.

This was a good idea for a thread TS, the Sherdog Psychologists will be able to diagnose Jones without ever having to meet him.

In fact, to actually qualify for the official diagnosis, you must have a diagnose-able conduct disorder as an adolescent, which I think he does not.

I'm rather sure this is not true. I don't know if this article will cover it, but this guy's story, he was "an angel" as an adolescent. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct...yGf08h5KESqhIz1_BB-fxg&bvm=bv.111396085,d.dmo

I did find it interesting that in his interview with Helwani, when talking about his accident and the pregnant woman in the other car, Jones said that at the time he was worried about his career and going to jail. He did not express concern about the woman and her unborn child beyond the impact their injuries may have on him.

I don't want to make any diagnoses, but I would have thought most people would at least acknowledge the suffering of the other party and their family, rather than looking at an accident like that purely selfishly.

Sounds like DC is scared.

sociopaths and psychopaths tend to be very charismatic and charming. he is not
sociopaths and psychopaths tend to have been in trouble with the law during their teen years. he wasn't

I don't think he is.

Dead on. Society psychologizes WAY too much. Jones has zero charm except to a handful of people who like to play victim/shitstir on forums (usually in racial form) via being a Jones fan.

Not everyone that is unlikeable is a psychopath. Those two words (psychopath/sociopath) get overused more than anything, and I think this is an exclusively American thing to be honest.

 

[Just Creed]

He certainly comes across like he doesn't give a shit bout his actions

 

[chaos_36]

He's just christian

Lmao. Part of the mass delusion.

Since Daniel Cormier recently said he believes so, I wanted to ask Sherdog and see what Sherdog's opinion on the matter is.

A psychopath is generally considered to be someone who suffers from one of the psychopathic (cluster-b) personality disorders which are Antisocial Personality Disorder, Narcissistic Personality Disorder and Borderline Personality Disorder.

All three disorders have the "lack of empathy" symptom, which is why they are considered psychopathic/sociopathic.

Hundreds of thousands of people have these disorders, it doesn't make them killers. Serial killers and violent offenders only make up a small percentage of these people. But most psychopaths, although don't have empathy, still wouldn't kill someone obviously.

All psychopaths have a much higher IQ than the average person but usually don't put it to use.
However, if we compare to serial killers,

- Most serial killers have antisocial personality disorder.
- Certain cases they may have the other two. Some major examples are Ted Bundy (Narcissistic Personality) and Jeffrey Dahmer (Borderline Personality).
- Its possible to have more than one. Serial killer, Andrei Chikatilo was diagnosed with ALL THREE psychopathic disorders.


Jones seems somewhat of a Narcissist. I would guess NPD with Borderline traits. His self destructive behavior, reckless acts, damaging acts, prone to violence, prone to angry, short fuse, etc. Classic NPD / Borderline Personality.

I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of fighters were.

Jon Jones is just the worst human being ever.

Isn't he just a millenial? Doesn't that mean he just didn't get enough Likes?

Have him do The Hare Exam, then we'll have an idea.

[Tommy the Cat]

I don't know about a psychopath. But anyone who fights for living is gonna be some what unstable. Robbie Lawler may be a psychopath tho.

 

[Rittsy]

This is actually how psychiatrists and psychologists diagnose their patients. They just post vague symptoms on message boards and create a poll for everyone to vote on.

 

[tnsinga]

I think hes got a massive ego and fiercely competitive and thats it haha,

 

[SugarShock]

Probably one of the most pathetic threads I've seen in a while, and I've seen a lot of pathetic threads.

 

[Escopeta]
