Where do you fall on the Dark Triad traits?

Average or below but Machiavellianism is 56% and above average.

The only question I didn't answer with totally disagree was the one about cynicism. I don't think that is a dark trait. It's good to be a little cynical about things.

29.83%

45 percent higher than the population average

0.13% lower than the average. High on Machiavellian traits, lower on the others.

I’m just very honest.

Of course a narcissist would answer a strong NO to everything because they think they're perfect. Dumb test. Maybe that opinion makes me a sociopath.

Question 14: "Are you THAT bitch?"

R7 I’m still that bitch, bitch.

I scored way higher than average, but I knew I would. I believe I am a narcissist, and I know this because I also have an empty sense of self, and very low self esteem. I believe that I am special and deserve more than most people, but that I am not good enough, and a terrible person. Sometimes I fear what would happen if I were to gain self esteem, or became fixated on a goal that I actually cared about.

I am very aware of these traits, so I try to do good things. I volunteer at an animal shelter, but even then I have wrangled my way into becoming the photographer/videographer rather than doing any of the dirty work.

It's fucking horrible by the way. I never go out of my way to fuck others over, but after the fact I realise I've done something incredibly thoughtless. Someone called me on it recently (I stole some of her clients) and after a rage-filled couple of weeks I realised she was actually right. That is what I'd done. In my mind she'd proved herself incompetent, so I just picked them off.

I don't feel bad about doing it, just embarrassed at being caught out.

I find your honesty and self-awareness sexy.

That's because you're evil with no moral foundation.

1.88 darker than average

I scored kind of high for Machiavellianism (57%), which is hilarious because my dad used to share lessons from The Prince when we were kids. I then read the book in its entirety during college, and consider ot a useful guide for navigating the workplace (or at least understanding others' behavior).

r11 So, I should feel bad? The woman was incompetent and couldn't so what the clients wanted. At the time I felt like I was doing them a favour, I was genuinely quite bitter at the woman as she was meant to be teaching me certain skills (she didn't) so I taught myself and then punished her.

I do have insight into my behaviour, but I don't know how I can change.

About 9% darker than average. Highest above average was psycholopathy but in reading the explanation of that trait, it didn't seem to fit my answers unless the cynicism question falls under that one.

R2 lied on a dark triad quiz that no one else can see. Wonder what that says about him?

Everybody lies and manipulates others. Everyone wants to be admired. These are bullshit questions.

*psychopathy, although psycholopathy should be a new category for something!

R14 Again, I find your honesty and self-awareness sexy.

Let me help heal you.

R16, that's why the answers were a range. Although twelve questions is way too short. I'm sure there's a real one with more questions out there if you want to seek it out.

[quote]Everybody lies and manipulates others. Everyone wants to be admired. These are bullshit questions.

That's a tell-tale sign of having the dark traits, believing that everyone else is like that too.

We're not.

R18, your dating life must be a long-running disaster filled with disappointment and pain.

R21 😂🤣😂🤣😂

::sigh:: I needed that.

^R18

But if you actually ARE the most interesting person in the room?

Are you a POC?

35.83% darker than the average here. That’s probably about par with the rest of you bitches.

Interesting. Thanks OP

8% darker than average.

I'm a little darker than average and think that's about right.

6.17% lighter than average

Oh my... I'm 39.83 darker than average. And 81% Machiavellian (which is true). Oy vey.

This one is bullshit. Where is the other one that was on here about a year ago. It had questions that could really slip by a real sociopath. It being ok to cut corners to get ahead and taking advantage of people. Wish I could remember.

This one is just click bait.

Damn, I am obviously a psycho. 45% darker than average.

im 2.83% darker than average. i scored highest on the Machiavellian part. I answered high for cynicism

10 percent darker--mostly narcissism, seems about right--some low self-esteem countered by some inner pep talks. It's not super functional, but it beats full-fledged depression. But I still live in reality v. full-fledged personality disorder types.

Mary Fucking Poppins.

It's a bunch of shit, it's based on the premise that people answer truthfully.

I, too, got dinged for cynicism, but still placed 14% lighter than most.

But always remember: no matter how cynical you become, it's never enough to keep up.

22% lighter. 13% narcissism; 0% Machivellianism; 19% psychopathy.

This makes you 66.83% Darker than the average person.

8.17% lighter than average, higher only in psychopathy, probably because I am so cycnical

R9, it must truly suck to be deeply narcissistic. It's like there's a void in you that will never be filled. I'm the opposite of a narcissist, an empath. I attract a lot of narcs, and they drain the ever living shit out of me. But I'm learning somewhat how to interact with them in a way that doesn't lead to complete fucking chaos and misery.

I believe narcs can become sentient/aware and there is potential for them to possibly not be complete dickheads. I know the psychiatric literature says its nearly impossible for narcissists to change, but I don't believe it.

I have empathy for narcissists because I know most of them had terrible and even unimaginably terrible childhoods, abject neglect and abuse leading to the development of narcissism. I also know how toxic and insidious the illness actually is.

Okay, already stumped.

Question 1: [italic]“I tend to expect special favors from others.” [/italic]Well, often, kind of, yes. But I have a sunny personality, am good looking, and do special favors for others all the time. (I’m also white, a group that tends to be treated better.)

My experience is that people DO do favors for me.

R41 does this apply to Meghan Markle?

This makes you 48.83% Darker than the average person.

18.17% lighter

Well, I display no psychopathy. So I guess we’re all safe.

Apparently I’m 20.83% darker than others and I find that hard to believe because most people are such assholes.

I actually scored nearly average everywhere except for psychopathy. I’m 75% there. I don’t get it I would never hurt an animal and I love my family.

^^ exactly what a PSYCHOPATH would say when FOUND OUT ! !

I honestly thought I was maybe autistic and undiagnosed because I’ve always had a difficult time relating to other people and I don’t like most of them. I feel I have good reason though because most of them are awful. I always thought psychopaths were violent which I’m not.

I’m sure you’re perfectly fine, r47

If you’re honestly interested, though, this strikes me as a good, in depth video on the topic.

9% darker than average. I also don't view cynicism as a negative.

88% - Narcissism

100% - Machiavellianism

63% - Psychopathy

84% - Average

[quote]This makes you 50.83% Darker than the average person.

33% darker than the basics

39.8% darker. Yikes! I need Jesus or something.

Like r47 I score surprisingly high on psychopathy, but I know for sure I’m on the autism spectrum. I think the shallow emotional responses and tactlessness stem from that. The description of psychopaths “[seeking] out extremely stimulating activities (sex, violence, drugs, or financial risk), resulting in impulsivity and a disposition towards interpersonal conflict” is very much NOT me - in the extreme. I’ve often wondered how much overlap there is between autism and psychopathy.

Oh fuck, now that he is being (rightfully) dragged, she will likely come to his help. Gross.

I’m exactly average. I’m a little more narcissistic and a little less Machiavellian. It evened out.

Low on Machiavellianism and narcissism but 50% on psychopathy.

Probably due to the fact that I am mostly dead inside.

[quote]R57 Oh fuck, now that he is being (rightfully) dragged, she will likely come to his help. Gross.

Who are you ripping to shreds here?

6.83%

"Agent Starling, do you think you can dissect me with this blunt little tool?"

I'm 8.17% better than all of you. I also scored slighty above average for psychopathy for SOME reason.
