Firstly Psychopathy isn't so black and white. My brother scored 59% in the psychopathic spectrum but he is not a diagnosed psychophath. Everyone has some psychopathic tendencies with in them unless you are very very emotional and empathetic that you cry even when a you step on a plant. So I am not saying that Altair and Haytham are diagnosed psychopaths just that they have a little bit high on the psychopathic spectrum. Even though the title can be misleading.

I study psychology and sociology at college. So most of it is from there but I did get some stuff from the internet.

I wasn't saying that Haytham was a psychopath because he killed someone at an early age, but that it could be a CAUSE of psychopathy. Killers who are diagnosed psychopathy tend to have had a traumatic experience at an early age.
