How Machiavellian are you? (MACH IV test)

[Donna Cecilia]

The Machiavelli personality test has a range of 0-100

Your Machiavelli score is: 82

"high Mach", you endorse Machiavelli's opinions.

Most people fall somewhere in the middle, but there's a significant minority at either extreme.

I'd like to be machiavellian. I'd even like to have rat cunning but I tend to avoid reality by hiding in ideals.

This boosts my self esteem but leaves me vulnerable to real machiavellians.

I remember the Aquarius Festival where I was feeling lonely and joined a group welcoming new arrivals. It was late at night and we started playing cards and drinking red wine. And before I knew it, and to my surprise, I was played for a fool and lost all my money.

It turned out all right, for the next morning I went to work on the garbage truck collecting and sorting the garbage for ten thousand people.

The driver of the truck was the most wonderful zen buddhist with a pigtail. And we needed him because it was a very old truck and very hard to start on the cold mornings. But with all the patience of zen he got it started every morning.

And every morning we were cheered as we did our rounds and collected the garbage. And afterwards everyone would feed us so I didn't need any money.

So I guess if I had been machiavellian or had rat cunning, I would have fleeced some innocent, instead I was the innocent, but met this wonderful zen buddhist truck driver and was feed by everyone I met.

But then I had to get back to Sydney from Nimbin in northern New South Wales without money or petrol. But I just pulled into a garage, explained my situation, and they would fill up my tank.

So although I lack rat cunning, I found zen buddhism.

I think this is one of those rare cases when people with high scores are less likely to boast than those with average - higher than average scores.

 

[Sarcasticus]

75. But I'm feeling uncharacteristically cynical today.

Machiavellian test

I am not sure if this has been posted yet.... but the MACH-IV test was pretty interesting. I scored high mach, guess I'm a tool.

I think the world would be a better place if everyone was a machiavellian though; no nonsense at all.

 

[Owlesque]

I scored high (77).

 

[Such Irony]

Your score was 63 of 100.

This puts you in the category of the high Machs, people who do not belive in the goodness of the world and that because that it must be manipulated, people who Machiavelli would approve of.


I don't think so

 

[highlander]

Your score was 59 of 100.

This puts you in the category of the low Machs, people who will hold out for the goodness of the world and avoid manipulation. Not the people Machiavelli would approve of

60 is high machs, so close to the edge between high and low - in the middle in other words

[miss fortune]

retook and got a 58... and even some of the things that I agreed were true weren't things that I'd actually use against anybody... I'm cynical, but I'm getting pretty honest in my old age

Nah, I'm not that cynical, actually very optimistic.... I just know how to deal with the darker sides of the world well, to then make them into something to be optimistic about

 

[Tyrinth]

Your score was 71 of 100.

Hmmm, I guess I'm in a decent mood. Catch me in a bad mood and I bet I can beat 85.

 

[Southern Kross]

52 but I answered way too many with "neutral".
