Dark Triad type
The Charmer
Narcissism meets strategy — charismatic and manipulative.
Defining traits
Derived from the type definition — how high each of the three Dark Triad traits runs.
What this type means
The Charmer combines high narcissism with high Machiavellianism: charisma and confidence meet strategic calculation. Psychopathy is markedly lower, so the style stays controlled rather than impulsive.
Day to day this type comes across as winning and persuasive and knows exactly how to land. Charisma is a real strength — the thing to watch is whether closeness is genuine or just a means to an end.
