Introduction to the Dark Triad

The Dark Triad is a group of three personality traits that are characterized by malevolence:

  1. Machiavellianism: Named after Niccolò Machiavelli, this trait is characterized by manipulation and exploitation of others, cynicism, and pragmatic morality.
  2. Narcissism: Excessive self-love, grandiosity, pride, and a lack of empathy for others.
  3. Psychopathy: Characterized by antisocial behavior, impulsivity, selfishness, callousness, and remorselessness.
