Which term refers to a person with antisocial personality disorder who lacks internal control and disregards social values?

• A. Serial killer
• B. Intimate partner violence
• C. Sociopath
• D. Rape

Answer: (C)

Sociopath is the label that fits someone with antisocial personality disorder who shows a pattern of disregarding social norms and has little internal restraint. Antisocial personality disorder involves traits like impulsivity, aggression, deceit, and a lack of remorse for harming others, which aligns with a view of someone who acts without regard to social rules.

The other terms describe actions or roles rather than a personality pattern. A serial killer is a type of offender, not a diagnostic label. Intimate partner violence refers to violence within a relationship, not a personality disorder. Rape is a criminal act, not a description of a person’s enduring personality traits.
