Primary/secondary subtypes of psychopath

The distinction between primary and secondary subtypes of psychopath relates to the concept of psychopathy itself rather than to the PCL–R. It well predates the PCL and the PCL–R and indeed requires concepts not directly referenced within the PCL–R to be understood.--NeantHumain (talk) 02:56, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

These are distinct and each notable subjects on their own. I also agree they should not be merged. There is another editor who commented on the merge over at psychopathy. That user also agrees that the merge shouldn't happen. Since thats three of us and its been several months since the tag has been put up, I'm removing the tag.

Merge suggestion with psychopathy banner

The article is tagged for a merge. This one is a a test, the psychopathy article is about a concept. There is merit in both, but someone looking for the PCL might find separate articles more reasonable. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fremte (talk • contribs) 18:12, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Many short-term marital relationships

I don't understand how the above can be both part of Factor 2 and uncorrelated with either factor. It seems it should only be in one, otherwise some explanation would probably be in order. GAdam (talk) 00:10, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

I agree with you. Ana 13:26, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

I came to the talk page to post an identical objection. It doesn't look as though anybody has taken the time to address this issue for several months, so I propose to remedy the problem immediately. I'm not an expert. However, based on this source, it seems the right thing to do may be to remove "Many short-term marital relationships" from the Factor 2 list.
