Cool. Nate's questions on #darktriad and the Dark Triad are precious.
Stuff they say about 🇺🇸culture (not the dominant topic!) should make us wary as a rule regarding psychology studies from the US, eg behavioural [climate] economics. Let's never take those results as automatically applicable to non-US cultures !!! ⛔ <BIG warning emoji>
https://www.thegreatsimplification.com/episode/reality-roundtable-19
If you do apply US psy-study results to your non-US society culture, you're bringing your culture one step more in line with 🇺🇸. You do it via something like cultural osmosis:
via (false) assumptions about how your neighbour likely is, via bending decisions at your work place toward an assumed US-like customer base,
via adopting a changed world view, one that directly or indirectly assumes US psychology as norm, as examples for osmosis.
💀👎
Particularly worrisome is if news journalists, any topic, in non-US countries are adopting "what works in the US".
The experts in the episode say that the US media biome is prone to, and rewards Dark Triad-cultivating actions. Let's stay well clear of this. 🖖🏽
A dark triad or tetrarad exhibits 3 to 4 sets of signs that categorize them as such. You may interact with people in your life who fit these categories. If you do, it might be best not to. #darktriad #darktetrad

I wish our systems weren't so rewarding for sociopaths. I think about the #DarkTriad. Narcissism is bad, but throw in a few more pathologies and it gets scary. The inevitable downward spiral into #NarcissisticMortification is particularly destructive.
"Pushing back against narcissism is a human rights issue."
It is not only about the personal suffering of individuals.

So tRump is again being an ass, firing the lead official on economic data because Trumpian tariffs have caused a market drop.
This really reminds me how dark triad types are toxically moronic, not adult enough to face accountability, so instead they dump their shortcomings on others to keep their eggshell-fragile facade. They stain everyone else more balanced than them, from immigrants and children, minorities to doctors, scientists, ecologists etc. They will abuse all of them to keep the ruse going.
The dark triad always hates sharing its toys, but it isn't because they care about them. They destroy the toys, (whether they are literally toys, home-life, people supposedly loved, or animals) sooner or later. Tick tock.
The best thing you can do is get them out of your life ASAP.

A survey of over 9,000 U.S. residents who completed a survey on political attitudes and personality traits found that political conservatives generally scored higher on measures of authoritarianism, social dominance, and Dark Triad (i.e., malevolent) personality traits.

If you struggle to get a definition for the daft right wing term 'woke', you are one of many.
It is an umbrella term covering every healthy range capability which isn't narcissistic, sociopathic, or psychopathic. Then gullible people have parroted it, pushed by influencers and media infested with the 3 traits.
The flawed logic is easy to spot because each user of the word wants others to be extra woke about their own feelings, and starts hurling insults, getting arsey, or playing a victim card.
You can see it in Musk, and Trump's responses, Boris Johnson's whenever he was near a mic, Farage etc. In each country, such types are easily bought and manipulated by money or their dark trait hollowness. In each country politicians with the dark traits hype themselves as progress or efficiency while grinding down healthcare and seeding division by skin colour etc.
The dark triad personality is dangerous and should not be allowed near power. Voters need to be much more aware. Dark triad personalities know they are different and have incapabilities. They mask it with delusions of grandeur designed to prevent them facing the harm they feed on causing. Hence their allergy to any form of accountability applying to them, even while magnifying it falsely on others.
Parroting the word 'woke' is an admission of having dark traits and empathic failure.
Or absolute gullibility.

"One study examined 9,900 U.S. publicly listed firms and separated the sample by those run by managers who went to business school and those whose managers did not. While they found no discernible difference in sales or profits between the two samples, they found that labor wages were cut 6% over five years at companies run by managers who went to business school, while managers with no business degree shared profits with their workers. The study concludes that this is the result “of practices and values acquired in business education.”

#Personality and Job Performance: A Review of Trait Models and Recent Trends
https://doi.org/10.1016/j.copsyc.2025.102054
"Conscientious is king. Of all the traits, conscientiousness is the one most strongly linked to better job #performance. People high in conscientiousness tend to be organized, dependable, and goal-oriented - and it shows in their workplace behavior.
The Dark Triad casts a long shadow. On the other side of the ledger, the #DarkTriad traits - Machiavellianism, narcissism, and psychopathy - are strong predictors of counterproductive behavior in the workplace. These dark traits are associated with manipulation, impulsivity, and a lack of empathy - attributes that don’t exactly make for ideal colleagues.
HEXACO takes the lead. Interestingly, of the three models, the #HEXACO does the best job of explaining variance in job performance."

People with higher levels of narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy (the Dark Triad) are judged to have more attractive faces, and are trusted more by others.

Narcissism can be identified in children as young as seven, and these children tend to be seen as leaders by others, particularly by other children with low self-esteem. But when put to the test, the narcissistic children do not actually perform better as leaders.
