If you're a CPA, here's a bit of good news: You're probably not a psychopath.

That's according to the Great British Psychopath Survey. Compiled by Oxford research psychologist and The Wisdom of Psychopaths author Kevin Dutton, the survey lists the following as the least psychopathic professions:

1. Care aide
2. Nurse
3. Therapist
4. Craftsperson
5. Beautician / stylist
6. Charity worker
7. Teacher
8. Creative artist
9. Doctor
10. Accountant

Of course, being a psychopath doesn't make you homicidal -- or even a criminal, for that matter. In fact, Dutton says certain psychopathic traits -- charm, confidence, being cool under pressure -- can actually be helpful on the job.

Regardless, as a profession, accounting certainly isn't crawling with psychopaths. That's probably a good thing.

And yes, the survey also listed the most psychopathic professions around. They are:

1. CEO
2. Lawyer
3. Media (TV / radio)
4. Salesperson
5. Surgeon
6. Journalist
7. Police officer
8. Clergyperson
9. Chef
10. Civil servant

Me? I've spent time over the years as both a radio personality (No. 3) and a newspaper editor (No. 6).

Maybe I should've studied accounting.
