The Dark TryiadThe Dark Triad is a trio of negative personality traits—narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy.
Narcissism - Personality qualities include thinking very highly of oneself, needing admiration, believing others are inferior and lacking empathy for others.
Machiavellianism - It is a personality trait centered on manipulativeness, callousness, and indifference to morality.
Psychopathy - It is a neuropsychiatric disorder marked by deficient emotional responses, lack of empathy, and poor behavioral controls, commonly resulting in persistent antisocial deviance and criminal behavior.
People scoring high on these traits are more likely to commit crimes, cause social distress and create severe problems for an organization, especially if they are in leadership positions. They also tend to be less compassionate, agreeable, empathetic, satisfied with their lives, and less likely to believe they and others are good.
