The Dark Triad
Machiavellianism · Narcissism · Psychopathy
A widely-cited validated measure (Short Dark Triad, SD3) of three socially aversive personality traits. Most people score modestly on all three — the test reveals which of the three is most pronounced in you.
Machiavellianism
Strategic, calculating, willing to manipulate.
Narcissism
Grandiosity, entitlement, need for admiration.
Psychopathy
Impulsivity, low empathy, taste for risk.
A high score doesn't make you 'a bad person.' These traits exist on a continuum in everyone.
