Of course, these lists don't mean all people in professions on the left are psychpaths, and none on the right are. Eg., some people are drawn to professions such as nurse or teacher because it gives them power.

First off, psychopath doesn't just mean someone who cuts you up with a chainsaw -- though the majority of people who do things like that are psychopaths. What's the definition?
Psychopathy is a personality disorder that has been variously described as characterized by shallow emotions (in particular reduced fear), stress tolerance, lacking empathy, coldheartedness, lacking guilt, egocentricity, superficial char, manipulativeness, irresponsibility, impulsivity and antisocial behaviors such as parasitic lifestyle and criminality.
So which professions (other than axe murderer) do they disproportionately gravitate towards -- or away from?

=======================================
See the link above for some examples they have disproportionately more or fewer.
Included in the more are CEO and police officer, no surprise.
