People mistake lack of 'people focus' for the lack of empathy associated with psychopaths.
Yes, there is a lot of data to suggest the opposite of the popular thinking on this stuff. A lot of serial killers and dictators are actually very charismatic, and are very focused on charming people. If they didn't, they wouldn't be able to do what they do. No one is going to follow someone who seems like a weirdo to a place where they could potentially murder them without getting caught.
I also think it's interesting that most murders and rapes are not committed by strangers, but by people who knew their victim.
