Are you down with the Dark Side?
« on: December 08, 2015, 11:43:33 AM »
Amusing little on-line quiz that determines how dark your personality is.

http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20151123-how-dark-is-your-personality

Per the quiz I'm "Moderately nefarious"

"Like Don Draper, you are moderately nefarious. You walk on the dark side of humanity, but your ruthless streak may just help you get ahead

Infrequently vile

You are infrequently vile – you mostly put others before yourself, though you may find occasions in which your dark side shines.

I CAN be an ahole so it's kinda hard to argue.

Infrequently vile, with Machiavellianism rated highest at purple, and narcissism and psychopathy equally rated mid-blue.

I can live with that. Clausewitz took from Machiavelli regarding principles of war.

Also infrequently vile.

I had low score on the narcissism and smack dab in the middle of pschopathy, so I guess I'm just Machiavellian.

Decidedly dastardly

There are five things, above all else, that make life worth living: a good relationship with God, a good woman, good health, good friends, and a good cigar.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.  One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

Moderately nefarious, but I have to object on the narcissism measurement- how can I be scored narcissistic because I don't think I'm average when I can look at actual data that supports my conclusion?

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

Just a moderate nefariousist. ;)

Mid red on Machiavelliamism

Mid Blue on Narcissism

Mid red on psychopathy.

And all along I just thought I was somewhere on the Autism spectrum. I feel much better now that I know I am just a psychopathic butthead*. :)  ;)

Another "infrequently vile."   High on Machiavellianism, just below median on Narcissism, and quite low on Psychopathy (obviously this test does not detect psychopaths reliably).

High Machiavellian, low psychopathy......I can live with that.

Oops, decidedly dastardly. My Mach was pegged,  and the other two were both one notch behind it.

Infrequently vile.

High Machiavellianism, low narcissism, and psychopathy almost off the low end of the scale.

I guess that means I'm a sane, sneaky guy with low self-esteem.
