Dark Triad type
Dark Triad Core
All three traits elevated — a true dark triad profile.
Defining traits
Derived from the type definition — how high each of the three Dark Triad traits runs.
What this type means
In the Dark Triad Core all three traits are high at once: narcissism, Machiavellianism and psychopathy. It's the most intense combination in the model — presence, strategic calculation and fearlessness converge.
Day to day this can look assertive and effective. At the same time it's especially worth an honest look at empathy and fair means. Remember: this is a personality profile from a self-test, not a diagnosis.
Important
This type is a playful reading of a personality profile, not a diagnosis. The test is for entertainment and self-reflection and does not replace a professional assessment.
