Of course there is a distribution but there is demarcation. A criteria is set and 4% +- some deviation qualify as full blown nutters.
We arent injection molded thermoplastic caricatures. There is a living dynamic. But the author builds a good case that there is a 4% you wouldnt leave alone with your children. Nor should you leave them in office. Or on a board of directors etc etc. poor perception and slow learning were in the next 16%. They are the people that exhibit psychopathic behavior if their boss is a psychopath. On their own they are somewhat inhibited. The 4% are worse. Much worse. These 4% are destroying civilization while the "sheep" look for the good in man. The sheep better deal with the wolves. It isnt getting better on its own.
Read the classic, and the article. Then decide if the author is chicken little
and the sky is falling.

While I haven't read the books, I would be inclined to suspect that
the population is not divided into a small minority who are 100%
sociopathic plus a majority who are not at all sociopathic, but that there
is something like a continuum with the "pure" sociopaths at one end.
I suspect further that there might be several factors involved, perhaps
* slow social learning; Eysenck's "extraversion"
* poor perception of other peoples' feelings
* indifference to other peoples' feelings
