Introduction

The dark name triad for personality traits certainly sounds scary and dramatic. However, in recent years the interest of researchers is increasing for these three characteristics, which, when displayed in combination, compose the portrait of a man who is capable of conquering everything without anything being able to stop him.

The dark triad of personality consists of three characteristics: narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy. These, when they appear at a low level that does not meet the criteria for a full diagnosis, are pieces of people's personality, such as honesty or conscientiousness. How these characteristics appear is no different from any other personality elements: there are some genetic clues, but above all, the environment and upbringing play the most decisive role.

People who exhibit these characteristics tend to follow the so-called "fast life strategy." This kind of attitude of life includes reckless actions, drug use, hectic love life, and interpersonal aggression. Generally, in choosing instant gratification or late earnings but with more excellent value, people with high scores in these three features choose the first option. Of course, these uncritical decisions and frivolous lifestyles have similar effects on the social, physical, and mental health of these people. But let us look at each character and their products individually.

Narcissism: Considered as the most adaptive and socially acceptable of the three characteristics. Narcissists are characterized by a tendency to continually seek external confirmation, attention, excessive self-confidence, and feelings of megalomania. They are impatient, generally, ignore the feelings of others, and rarely make self-criticism. It is considered more adaptive, as narcissists are usually social and entertaining individuals as long as their needs and purposes are naturally served.

Machiavellianism: Machiavellian personality is characterized by duplicity in interpersonal relationships and tendencies of manipulation of others. It refers to the so-called manipulative character. It also includes a cynical attitude to ethics, a lack of barriers, and a primary interest in personal gain. People with this trait exhibit a lack of emotions, which helps them not to bond with other people, making it easier to manipulate them. Often, there is a correlation of this characteristic with high achievement in the workplace: Machiavellian personalities often meet in the field of politics, business, and generally in areas with hierarchy and potential for development.

Psychopathy: The concept of psychopathy mainly includes low emotional life and a lack of feeling of shame. In general, its characteristics are divided into two major categories: those related to emotional distancing and those that include an antisocial lifestyle. It is worth noting that despite the similarity of Machiavellianism and psychopathy, they are distinct characteristics, which often overlap.

These three characteristics (as well as their respective clinical disorders, in the case of narcissism and psychopathy) generally occur more frequently in men, and the corresponding impact accompanies each on people's lives. Psychopathy, compared to the other two characteristics, is associated with lower life expectancy and a worse quality of life. Often, people with high rates on the scales of psychopathy are involved in criminal behaviors and dangerous situations. Narcissism, on the other hand, being the most adaptive characteristic, is associated with higher life expectancy: thanks to their functional interpersonal relationships, narcissists live a "full" life and exhibit high rates on happiness measurement scales. Machiavellianism does not indicate that it is significantly correlated with a better or worse quality of life.

These three characteristics, then, may exist to a high or low degree in any human being. It is important to stress that they can live separately or coexist: the existence of one does not presuppose or negate the fact of the other.

What Is Dark Psychology

People who cannot connect with others or have the ability to deliberately disconnect their emotions fall under what we call "the dark triad." These sets of personality traits constitute narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy.

In extreme cases, people who have these dark characteristics become criminals or lose themselves into mental illness.

People with these characteristics and behaviors are said to have a dark personality.

Narcissism

Narcissists are "snake charmers." At first, people seem to love them. They seem content and attractive. But when time passes, they can become very dangerous. People around them may be unable to see their true intentions: to be admired and gain power.

Routines tend to bore them, so they are looking for challenges. This is why most narcissists are leaders or work in professions that create a high level of stress. According to psychoanalyst Michael Maccoby, narcissism is an increasing disorder in the upper stocks of the business world. It is directly linked to competition, pay, and glamour.

The Negative Aspect of Narcissism

One of their strengths is their ability to convince others. They easily persuade others to do what they want them to do. In short: they get what they want. Also, it's not difficult for them because they don't have any empathy. They are not picky at all when it comes to the means and strategies, they use to achieve their goals.

Selfish people have zero interest in and do not worry about others, although it may seem so. They do not experience regret, and they are insensitive to people in their surroundings' feelings and needs.

Machiavellism

The Machiavellians are not trying to impress anyone. Instead, they turn out as they are and prefer to see things clearly because they can manipulate others better that way. They focus on the feelings of the people they want to manage to get what they want. If they anticipate your emotions, they will be able to choose the right strategy to manipulate you.

According to psychologist Daniel Goleman, people with Machiavellian traits have less empathy. Their emotional cold seems to come from an inability to treat their own and others' feelings.

Emotions make them so uncomfortable at ease that, when they feel anxiety, they usually don't know how to distinguish it from sadness or fatigue.

Psychopathy

Psychopaths regard others as objects that they can use and throw away at their discretion. Unlike the other personalities of the dark triad, they rarely experience anxiety. It's like they have no idea what it's like to be afraid.

Without fear, they can remain calm even in emotionally intense, dangerous, and frightening situations.

Psychopaths have neural circuits desensitized to the outer periphery of the emotional spectrum associated with suffering. Therefore, their cruelty seems insensitive because they are unable to detect it. Nor do they experience remorse or shame.

However, psychopaths can quickly get close to others and press their buttons if it leads to them getting what they want. They are excellent persuaders. But even if they perform highly in social contexts, they only understand relationships and the behavior of others from a logical or intellectual perspective.
