New research has found that people with “dark” personality characteristics, such as psychopathy and narcissism, are less likely to comply with efforts to impede the spread of the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 and more likely to stockpile goods such as food and toilet paper.

Two new studies, both published in the journal Personality and Individual Differences, reinforce previous findings that the “Dark Triad” of narcissism, psychopathy, and Machiavellianism is associated with ignoring preventative COVID-19 measures.

But the new research indicates that health beliefs and situational perceptions may play a more important role than personality traits alone.

“Our lab is interested in examining how personality factors are related to human functioning, including subjective well-being and mental health,” said Magdalena Zemojtel-Piotrowska, the corresponding author of one of the new studies.

1. I've been saying for years

that it feels like we’ve been overrun with psychopaths. These people would pull the plug on your ventilator if their cell phone needed a charge. They are everywhere.

2. I can't say I am surprised.

The main reason to wear a mask is to protect other people, to protect society at large. It only protects us to a smaller extent.

Narcissists and Psychopaths/Sociopaths don't give a damn about anybody but themselves so of course they wouldn't inconvenience themselves if it is mostly going to benefit other people.

3. Rut-Roh! Four month supply of food and a years worth of toilet paper here. But the t-paper is just

the Costco 30 pack I always buy, and I bought it before I got the bidet. I hardly use any now. If I am I psychopath, I promise to only go after MAGAt's.

4. That's different. I also buy the Costco year's worth of TP bag. It is so convenient. And I also

have a bidet which makes the TP last even longer!
