How do you score on the Machiavellianism test?

MACH-IV: Machiavellianism Test

Here is what I got:

Your score was 76 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.

Interesting since I do not see myself this way at all. I guess it comes from being cynical towards the world in general though I don't always act on that cynicism (and I'm aware that my being honest often isn't in my interest)

Your score was 28 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.

These questions are confusing. Is it proof of low intuition if you are slow to take a test with very general and ambiguously defined questions? I'd love to hear something on that. I'm no good with blanket statements. I need to know why I am the way I am. I think this is now going to be my intro thread. Hi. btw I am apparently not so evil at 16 and Typh0n needs to work on himself some more.

Your score was 63 of 100.

^ You can still be a good person. A lot of what I answered was cynicism, not that I was approving of what they're doing. So the score is a bit misleading.

Yeah, the questions seem to be about how you think people in positions of power act, not necessarily how you would act in a given situation.

I ain't surprised considering I love Machiavelli as a writer and historical figure.

I kind of knew the answer already. I always think that had I read Machiavelli when little (an adapted version), I'd have a country of my own now. If I ever have children, The Prince will be my parent teaching book.
