Understanding the Dark Triad

What is the Dark Triad?

The Dark Triad refers to three personality traits that share characteristics of callousness, manipulation, and self-interest. While these traits can be problematic in extreme forms, they exist on a continuum and can have both positive and negative aspects.

๐Ÿ‘‘ Narcissism

Grandiose self-regard, need for admiration, and lack of empathy. Can drive ambition but may harm relationships.

๐ŸŽญ Machiavellianism

Strategic manipulation, cynicism, and pragmatic morality. Can aid in negotiation but may erode trust.

๐ŸŽช Psychopathy

Low empathy, impulsivity, and sensation-seeking. Can enable bold decisions but may lead to risky behavior.

Important Considerations
