Dark Tetrad
Popular
Four "darker" personality tendencies — Machiavellianism (strategy & manipulation), Narcissism (grandiosity & entitlement), Psychopathy (callousness & impulsivity), and Sadism (taking pleasure in others’ discomfort). 24 statements, rated how much you agree. These are normal-range traits, not a clinical label. Original items in the Short Dark Triad / Dark Tetrad tradition — indicative.
In plain English
A peek at your “darker” side — how calculating (Machiavellian), self-focused (narcissistic), cool-hearted (psychopathic) and how much you enjoy someone else squirming (sadistic). Most people score low across all four; it’s a revealing, slightly cheeky mirror.
