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.

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.

QuoteShockingly saintly

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

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

"Infrequently vile."

Machiavellianism shockingly high, narcissism and psychopathy almost equally low.

Same result here. I think my high machiavellianism score is due to my paranoia; it's not about devious ways to fuck up others, but believing that others will use devious ways to fuck up me - which has happened to me in the past.

I was contemplating whether to tell you my result...

Apparently, I'm "Moderately Nefarious".

"Like Don Draper, you are moderately nefarious. You walk on the dark side of humanity, but your ruthless streak may just help you get ahead"

Moderately high Machiavellianism and Narcissism (about 2/3 of the scale, Narcissism slightly higher), moderate Psychopathy (about 40% of the scale).

I noticed I find it much easier to tell people my secrets - I think it's just my histrionic side that likes me being in the centre of attention. I am much more into "revenge served cold", though, and I find enjoyment in letting my enemies stumble over their feet and fail spectacularly, often months after they crossed me. The Chinese saying "if you have an enemy, sit on a river's bank and wait for their body to float by" could be my life motto. :P
