General personality traits and interests, both vocational and avocational, have long been considered intertwined constructs. Nevertheless, the linkages between personality disorder features, such as psychopathy, and interests are poorly understood. This study bridges this gap by examining how psychopathic traits relate to vocational and avocational interests, and to what extent these associations are distinctive to psychopathy as opposed to a broader pattern of general and abnormal personality traits. In a sample of 426 community participants, Psychopathic Personality Inventory-Revised Fearless Dominance features of psychopathy were associated with interest in a broad swath of vocational and avocational interests, whereas Self-Centered Impulsivity features were associated with realistic, artistic, enterprising, and conventional interests; most zero-order associations were in the small to medium range. Coldheartedness and the factors derived from the Levenson Self-Report Psychopathy Scale were largely unrelated to interests, although there were several notable exceptions. Narcissistic traits, as well as HEXACO (Honesty-Humility, Emotionality, Extraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, and Openness) Honesty-Humility, Extraversion, and Openness to Experience, were also related broadly to interests. The patterns of interests associated with personality disorder traits may ultimately bear practical implications for interventions as individuals seek out positions or hobbies that suit their traits.

一般人格特质和兴趣，包括职业和业余兴趣，长期以来一直被认为是相互交织的结构。然而，人格障碍特征（如精神病态）与兴趣之间的联系还知之甚少。本研究通过考察精神病态特征与职业和业余兴趣的关系，以及这些关联在多大程度上不同于精神病态，而是更广泛的一般和异常人格特征模式，弥补了这一空白。在 426 名社区参与者的样本中，精神病态人格量表修订版无畏支配特征与广泛的职业和业余兴趣相关，而以自我为中心的冲动特征与现实、艺术、创业和传统兴趣相关；大多数零阶关联处于小到中等范围。冷漠和从 Levenson 自我报告精神病态量表中得出的因素与兴趣基本无关，尽管也有一些值得注意的例外。自恋特质以及 HEXACO（诚实-谦逊、情绪、外向、随和、尽责和开放性）的诚实-谦逊、外向和开放性经验也与兴趣广泛相关。与人格障碍特征相关的兴趣模式最终可能对干预措施具有实际意义，因为个体寻求适合其特征的职位或爱好。
