These are a few quick reasons Ian is a sociopath.
If you weren't there, Ian was in the den this morning. He called Irene fat without any regret or knowledge of what was wrong with doing that.
Quick facts about psychopaths/sociopaths (the difs between the two are small):
So, in short, to truly determine if Ian is actually a psychopath we must study his behaviour. Take note whenever you see him pull a dick move.
If you see him be cruel to an animal call me right away.
If he rationalizes his actions by blaming somebody else or denying it instead of apologizing tell me.
If he shows lack of forethought, like doing something that he would clearly be punished for tell me.

Quick facts about psychopaths/sociopaths (the difs between the two are small):
- Lack of empathy and conscience/lack of regret
- Physical aggressiveness
- "A major personality behavior trait is the violation of the rights of others. This can appear as a disregard for the physical or sexual wellbeing of another." (taken from www.wisegeek.com/what-is-a-sociopath.htm)
- "[Psychopathy]often surfaces by age 15 and may be accompanied by cruelty to animals. These traits are distinct and repetitive, creating a pattern of misbehavior that goes beyond normal adolescent mischief." (http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-the-difference-between-a-psychopath-and-a-sociopath.htm)
- Instead of feeling guilt, psychopaths rationalize their actions, blaming others or denying them.
- "Their behavior is impulsive and irresponsible... also have a markedly distorted sense of the potential consequences of their actions" (wikipedia)
