Noticed that as well. So I searched for the source doc


I found it. The NYT should be ashamed of themselves.

"Three quarters of the mass murderers in the present study
appear not to have been mentally ill at the time of their
rampage: that is, they did not suffer from a psychotic con-
dition, nor did they belong to the subgroup of mass killers
who rendered themselves temporarily psychotic, or else
grossly impaired mentally, through abuse of alcohol or
drugs (as was the case with Susan Eubanks mentioned
above). The not-mentally-ill (NMI) group could be further
compartmentalized for the most part according to person-
ality type. Of the 189 persons in the NMI group, there was
not sufficient information to permit adequate categorization
in 21. The other 168 could be placed in one of several
categories, as follows (with percentages reflecting the 168
cases):
Antisocial personality: 20 individuals (11.9%)
Depressive: 11 individuals (6.5%)
Disgruntled: 10 individuals (6%)
Rageful: 11 individuals (10.7%)
Paranoid: 48 individuals (28.6%)
Psychopathic: 25 individuals (16.1%)
The remainder consisted of persons who had experienced
humiliation in the workplace, abrupt loss of a love rela-
tionship, or desperation (e.g., after being plunged suddenly
into debt); others were motivated by profound bigotry. The
subgroups enumerated here are not mutually exclusive. For
example, ‘‘disgruntlement’’ is a common theme among
many of the mass murderers, especially among those with
marked paranoid personality traits. The following clinical
examples reflect the variety of personality subtypes among
the nonpsychotic mass murderers."
