I'm not too sure what I would be looking out for.
Like Autistics and most other disorders, they generally appear normal as there's no established physical appearance. They even act normally most of the time as Sociopaths are characters (1 in 25 have Antisocial Personality Disorder, so it's not rare). Here are the signs of a Sociopath:
1. They never feel guilt about who they hurt, and some are proud of it. The only time that they'd care is if they'd lose something that they'd want (so they wouldn't really care about the person).
2. They're often fast talking compulsive liars but are good at making things that seem bizarre sound very real.
3. They love manipulating people for cash or other things.
4. They don't care about others and have no desire for actual friends ever unless they have something to offer they can use so they can take advantage of them and backstabbing them.
5. You can't offend one like you can offend a Narcissist as they'd just write the person off as being inferior.
6. They rarely ever change (if ever).
7. They're intelligent and love power.
8. 1 in 5 criminals are Sociopaths.
I think you watch too much criminal minds. This looks more like a list of your opinions of what a sociopath is from what you watch and read. I just see too many of your words in this description. You may be partially correct. I would say I am borderline socopath but the majority of your description does not even come close to describing me.
9. They always blame others for their mistakes and never learn from them.
10. They can either be passive aggressive towards everybody or project their rage/hate onto others frequently.
11. They think that they're superior to everybody (like Narcissists).
They're often businessmen, door to door salesmen (this job is perfect for them), drug dealers, inventors, game show hosts/contestants (I think that a lot of antagonists are actual Sociopaths) and politicians.
