Dark & Light

Some of the most-searched personality questions are about the traits nobody puts on a CV. This category takes them seriously and carefully: the dark triad — Machiavellianism, narcissism and psychopathy as everyday tendencies — measured with original items built on the published constructs, and framed the way the research frames them: as profiles everyone has, not verdicts anyone receives. Its mirror image lives here too: the light triad test, which measures everyday compassion, everyday integrity and valuing people — the tendencies that pull the other way.

House rule for everything in this category: a high score is information, never a diagnosis. These tests exist because understanding your own strategic, ego-driven or impulsive tendencies is genuinely useful — in negotiation, in leadership, in relationships — provided the mirror comes with honest framing, which ours always does.
