A sociopath is someone who is very impulsive because he cannot control his own emotions. They also act: selfish, manipulative and careless. Sociopaths have neither empathy nor a sense of guilt. The difference between a psychopath and a sociopath is that has learned a sociopathetic behavior. He is able to feel feelings but usually cannot control them. Psychopaths suffer from a genetic effect, which is why they are unable to feel real emotions.

Psychopaths and sociopaths are often used synonymously, in the clinical context they are only rarely diagnosed. The term dissocial/antisocial personal chain disorder is preferred. Psychopathy is more commonly used in criminal studies.

You could now easily break down to the following:

Psychopath: cold, calculating, highly functional, often encountered in leadership positions, unable to feel compassion due to a skull-brain trauma, physilogical anomaly and genetics.

Sociopath: impulsive, non-functional, usually found at the social edge, rarely in leadership positions, because not adaptable. Partly too emotional and capable of ties, but rarely stable relationships. Mostly traumatic childhood with violence and neglect + genetic psychopathic exposure.

Very rough and without science said: A psychopath is a person who has problems with himself, a sociopath is a person who has problems with society.
