The Dark Factor of Personality - online questionaire for measuring D score

[UTUSN]

I took the long version (90 statements) and got an (overall?) score of 2.54 (out of max 5)/rank 48% (I think). And I'm not sure how good/bad this is and therefore whether I should be "bragging"? or not or telling the whole Lounge universe!1

There's a test that tells you how many 'dark traits' like psychopathy and narcissism you have — and you can take it online

* In a new study, psychologists have identified the driving force behind the malevolent tendencies of human nature — like psychopathy, narcissism, egoism, sadism, spitefulness, and more.

* It's called the D factor, or the Dark Factor of Personality.

* In a series of four separate studies, Zettler and fellow researchers surveyed participants with questions designed to measure their levels of nine distinct dark personality traits.

* The results suggest that while these dark traits are all distinct, they all overlap to some extent, owing to the central core darkness factor, D, which reveals itself in different ways in different people.

* The team has set up an online portal https://qst.darkfactor.org/ where you can measure your own D score via a questionnaire. ....

1. Interesting! The hard part is getting people with high d scores to take it lol!

I have a few suspects in mind lol.

2. Hah, does that count as one of the factors?!1

3. Dammit one strike against me already! Hey I bet we can challenge Donnie to a perfect score!

He'd probably cheat to get the highest score even though he'd get it by answering honestly!

4. Took the long one as well 2.41 overall

Higher on some of the individual items which surprises me. Part the score is the degree is agree and disagree. I am not very black and white in my views and thinking and as such I only answered strongly in either direction a few times. I guess that adds up but I dont viee myself as especially greedy 3.2 overall lol. The rest were in line or a few tenths higher but that was offset by moral disengagement and narcissism which were in the 1s.

Great find, I love these types of quizzes.

5. It makes me feel better we're in the middle? Is that like "normal"/average?!1

[Maraya1969]

8. 1.87 which is very low and I'm in the 10%

Some of those questions were wild!

Oh I did the shortest test.

9. On the long one I got

1.84 9% I was however really surprised as hell to see on of the specific traits hit 2.25. 38%. I hope this is not what we are and is not something we can not change.

10. "not/are & not can not change" - from your lips to Zeus's ears, especially since I've got the

highest score so far - OR the highest anybody admits to!!!!!!!!!!1

11. I did it twice

First I did the long test and answered it the way I really feel. I got 2.06.

Then I did the short version and answered it the way Trump would if he was being honest with himself. I got a perfect 5.

12. 2.11. My highest (50%) were greed and cynicism

But I’m pretty good otherwise. I do like people and can I help it if I’d like to have nice stuff? 😄

[kerry-is-my-prez]

13. They count cynicism? I'm screwed......

[nolabear]

14. LOL! I suspect it comes with the DU territory.
