Scratch has survived under very different rules than you or I.
A sociopath is someone with Antisocial Personality Disorder according to DSM IV. I believe Scratch qualifies for that based on her pre-zombie apocalypse history, not simply her current behavior/cruelty. Many criminals, particularly in organized crime, fit this description. Psychosis would disqualify her for Antisocial PD because by definition she would not be in touch with reality (or what the "rest of us" call reality)
