Antisocial personality disorder is characterized by a pattern of disregard for the rights of others, lack of empathy, and a tendency to engage in behaviors that violate social norms and laws. This description fits the behavior described in the scenario. Multiple identity disorder, also known as dissociative identity disorder, involves the presence of two or more distinct personalities within an individual. Amoral apathy syndrome and narcissistic personality disorder do not fully capture the range of behaviors and attitudes described in the scenario.
