One comes to be called an X through the use of Y.
An X who does not practice Y is hardly a "real" X.

This is the relationship, not just "main characteristic".
True, sociopaths do not conform (to the rules of society) but you can't say that to be a sociopath, one must be a nonconformist (in appearance or behavior).
