assistant
The main difference between a sociopath and a psychopath is that a sociopath generally exhibits less extreme, more considered and controlled behaviors, while a psychopath is more prone to impulsive and aggressive behaviors. A sociopath is often better able to adapt socially, making it more difficult to detect characteristics, while a psychopath is often easily identified due to their inability to express empathy and follow social norms.
