Dark Triad type
The Narcissist
Confident, visible and convinced of your own importance.
Defining traits
Derived from the type definition — how high each of the three Dark Triad traits runs.
What this type means
This type is dominated by narcissism: a strong self-image, a desire for recognition, and a natural pull toward the spotlight. Machiavellianism and psychopathy are less pronounced.
Day to day this shows up as presence, confidence, and a wish to be seen. A healthy dose is completely normal and can even help in leadership — it only becomes a problem when recognition is demanded at others' expense.
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.
