QuoteDo you have a ruthless streak? Psychologists believe the "dark triad" of personality – Machiavellianism, narcissism and psychopathy – might help you succeed in life. To measure your own dark side, choose how much you agree or disagree with the simple statements below – and we'll tell you how dastardly you actually are.


QuoteYOUR RESULTS -Infrequently vile

You are infrequently vile – you mostly put others before yourself, though you may find occasions in which your dark side shines.

Highest metric was MACHIAVELLIANISM, lowest PSYCHOPATHY.

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

Similar, only Narcissism was a tad lower than Psychopathy.

Infrequently Vile

Highest was Machiavellianism (I learned something from Student Council ;)) the other two were very low.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Do you ever find yourself walking on water? Because you are shockingly saintly. You are a chink of light in a dark world.

I'm also infrequently vile.  :(  I don't even score high on narcissism.

Infrequently vile, with Machiavellism leading, a low narcissim score, and almost no psycopathy score  :sleep:

huh.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

"Infrequently vile."

Machiavellianism shockingly high, narcissism and psychopathy almost equally low.
