The Dark Triad

[Eddi]

Does the "Dark Triad" apply to you?

Or does only one or two traits of it apply to you?

None of them apply to me. I'm not narcissistic, I am not Machiavellian, and I'm not a psychopath.

But if I was any of these then I'd probably keep it to myself...

But there must be something such people are good for? Something they can do that benefits society? Or are such people simply anti-social?

I can't believe that a whole section of humanity is useless and has nothing to contribute.

I had to look it up: Dark triad - Wikipedia

Some might argue that the darker traits are more conducive towards surviving in the so-called "real world," where "nice guys finish last." Those who are considered naive, Pollyanna types are eaten alive and spit out.

Men and boys are often socialized and conditioned to "toughen up," and anyone showing "light triad" traits are mocked and ridiculed. Think Ned Flanders or The Brady Bunch Movie, where people with "light" traits are portrayed as terribly (and comically) out of touch with the "real world."

Seems to fit Jimmy Savile accurately enough, and Trump has two probably. Me, none.
