In 2006, Babiak and Hare alerted the public to the danger of
"corporate psychopaths," psychopathic individuals occupying
positions of power in business organizations. Since then,
academicians and the public media have advertised their presence,
documented the harm they can cause, and issued a call to arms to
identify corporate psychopaths and eliminate their presence in the
workplace. Very little attention has been paid, however, to the
ethics of such a "seek and destroy" mission. The Ethics of
Employment Screening for Psychopathy argues that employment
screening for psychopathy would be illegal and unethical. On legal
grounds, Brian K Steverson argues that psychopathy would qualify as
a protected disability under the Americans with Disabilities Act,
and, hence, medical screening to identify potential corporate
psychopaths would be in violation of the ADA. On ethical grounds,
the case is made that such screening would violate a social
commitment to equal opportunity, would constitute a morally
unjustified violation of personal privacy, and would, in practice,
not produce the intended benefits, while at the same time
inflicting harm on the subjects of the screening.
