Joe has anti-social personality disorder. Initially he makes a good first impression on people, and he possesses good social skills. However, he uses these skills in a very manipulative fashion and has gotten in trouble several times and cannot hold a job because of his "con artist" schemes. Though others around him are concerned about how he has manipulated them (especially those he has cheated out of money), Joe is totally unconcerned about his behavior and says his detractors are "sweating the small stuff." Of the criteria for determining whether Joe's behavior is abnormal, what should be considered?
