Though I'm not an expert on the subject, I'm not sure that psychopaths have a totally different CNS. If I recall correctly, only some parts of the brain are "misfiring" and not allowing feeling or affect to arise (or something along those lines).
I have also read that one can feel the presence of someone who lacks empathy. This author of a book on dangerous personalities mentions that it's a feeling of coldness, something about them can make one shudder. The psychopath looks at you as prey, something which considered weak and vulnerable. I suppose it's a look in their eyes, or maybe their entire bearing that betrays them. Yet, they can be glib and sly.
That's about all I recall on the topic.
Finally, I don't think that type of individual is a "jin" or "demon." Embodied evil, maybe, but still very much human and nothing supernatural.

Thanks Do you know the author and name of that book you mentioned. I' d like to read it.
I sent you a PM, but I'm unsure if it went through. Please let me know if it did.
I read two books on the topic. The first was a book I read for an English course entitled The Psychopath Test written by Jon Ronson. And the second was Dangerous Personalities by Joe Navarro. Below are the respective links to amazon's pages.
