Quiz: What kind of evil are you?

A psychological test can determine if you possess 'evil' characteristics. The test is known as the 'Short Dark Triad'.

As much as that sounds like a series arc from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the 'short dark triad' refers to three personality characteristics which scientists Daniel Jones and Delyor Paulus have studied for the journal Assessment.

The two scientists from the University of Texas at El Paso and University of British Columbia created a series of personality questions as a proxy for measuring how many 'dark triad' characteristics a respondent possessed.

Ominous.

Take the test and find out what kind of evil doer you really are:

You're probably wondering why you got the result you did, at this point.

The three 'types of evil' were described along these lines, as defined in the study:

Machiavellian: Exhibits a cyncical worldview, a lack of morality and manipulativess. Plans ahead rather than acting impulsively.

Narcissistic: On a never-ending quest for ego-reinforcement and thus is more self-deceptive than the other two.

Psychopath: Impulsive and thrill seeking with abandon for the wellbeing of others. Can engage in manipulate and criminal behaviour.

We hope that clears things up, you tyrant.
