Bart:
My advice is to look up "psychopath". Wikipedia is a good starting 
point. Remember, you are looking up definitions for the masses, the kind 
that JKR probably had access to when she designed the character. With 
one notable exception, Morty VERY closely fits the definition (the major 
exception is his ability to stick with a project).
