1. Sociopaths are charming. Sociopaths have high charisma and tend to attract a following just because people want to be around them. They have a "glow" about them that attracts people who typically seek guidance or direction. They often appear to be sexy or have a strong sexual attraction. Not all sexy people are sociopaths, obviously, but watch out for over-the-top sexual appetites and fetishes.
2. Sociopaths are more spontaneous and intense than other people. They tend to do bizarre, sometimes erratic things that most regular people wouldn't do. They are unbound by normal social contracts. Their behavior often seems irrational or extremely risky. Generally they cannot be read by most people due to their ever changing behaviour.
3. Sociopaths are incapable of feeling shame, guilt or remorse. Their brains simply lack the circuitry to process such emotions. This allows them to betray people, threaten people or harm people without giving it a second thought. They pursue any action that serves their own self interest even if it seriously harms others.
4. Sociopaths seek to dominate others and "win" at all costs. They hate to lose any argument or fight and will viciously defend their honour, even to the point of logical absurdity.
5. Sociopaths tend to be highly intelligent, but they use their brainpower to deceive others rather than empower them. Their high IQ's often make them dangerous. This is why many of the best-known serial killers who successfully evaded law enforcement were sociopaths.
6. Sociopaths speak poetically. They are master wordsmiths, able to deliver a running "stream of consciousness" monologue that is both intriguing and hypnotic. They are expert storytellers and even poets. 
7. Sociopaths never apologize. They often feel they are never wrong. They never feel guilt. They can rarely apologize. Even if shown proof that they were wrong, they will be reluctant to apologize and instead go on the attack.
8. Sociopaths can regress their state of mind rapidly. They often start off with small risks and erratic bahaviour which often leads to stronger and more heinous acts and even violence. If you anger or irritate a sociopath it can be very dangerous.
9. Sociopaths are secretive. They do not like their personal information to be commonly known or people asking them questions. They will often lie or deflect questions as to avoid giving away personal details.
10. Sociopaths are highly perceptive. They can notice the smallest thing or change in anything and remember most things they see and encounter.
