The test is complete. Be prudent about sharing your results, the dark triad traits are loaded subjects. Here is table of your results (scores are between 0 and 4, percentile is what percent of people you score higher than):
Trait Score Percentile
Narcissism 1.4/
(Narcissism is an egotistical preoccupation with self)
Machiavellianism 1.8/ 2
(Machiavellianism is a tendancy to be manipulative and deceitful.)
Psychopathy 1.2/ 40
(Psychopathy reflects shallow emotional responses.)
thoughts:
some of the questions are loaded (and not accurate, i think). most questions pertaining to the mach. side have to do with how you think other people act, and from there, the test makers assume that you're projecting onto them what you yourself would most likely do on occasion (or are they just saying that if you can see it in others then you must have it in you to do, which wouldn't point towards frequency at all...? in any case, if they were going in that direction with either, then that means that their rationale for the mach. test would have to vary from that of the other two if my scores and my own rationale while answering the questions are any indication... and this mini-monologue begs the question of whether or not all of this is just a a machiavellianistic ploy

, or whether any defense whatsoever would seem like a ploy immediately due to "resistance"--almost like one arguing against Freudian psychology).
interesting though
