What's Your D-Factor?
Happened on to this earlier today:

Link to quiz:
https://www.darkfactor.org/

D-Factor may be evident in Narcissism and/or Psychopathy, but also in any other specific traits such as Amorality, Egoism, Greed, Machiavellianism, Psychopathy, Sadism, or Spitefulness, as well as in any combination thereof. Thus, instead of saying that an individual is an amoral, egoistic, narcissistic psychopath who selfishly acts according to her/his own interests and, in doing so, engages in sadistic and spiteful behaviors, one may just say that this individual displays high levels in D. The definition of Dark Factor:
The general tendency to maximize one's individual utility — disregarding, accepting, or malevolently provoking disutility for others —, accompanied by beliefs that serve as justifications.
Put simply, D describes the tendency to ruthlessly pursue one's own interests, even when this harms others [or even for the sake of harming others], while having beliefs that justify these behaviors.
I did the long version on my cell and mine came up as 2.+% "low" 47th percentile. FWIW I had a few neutral/strong agree/strong disagree, but mostly disagree answers.The general tendency to maximize one's individual utility — disregarding, accepting, or malevolently provoking disutility for others —, accompanied by beliefs that serve as justifications.
Put simply, D describes the tendency to ruthlessly pursue one's own interests, even when this harms others [or even for the sake of harming others], while having beliefs that justify these behaviors.

Came across that article the other day. Was like 1.6.
Seems more like astrology than hard science. Interesting regardless.

The closer we approach the uncertainty of life's ending the more we wish to trade all of the things we have acquired in exchange for all of the things we have lost: wealth for youth, knowledge for fresh curiosity, resignation for hope. We'd trade our wisdom for new experiences, but it is wisdom that will teach us that at the end of the road the only new experience is death.

Surprised most are lower than mine so far. Maybe because I did the long version? Or I'm just odd.
I remember one was something like "I go out of my way to avoid hurting anyone when working towards a goal" and I said nah because how does that even work?
I can't see me intentionally hurting someone to win [a la Tonya Harding], but can't see worrying that someone I'm in competition will be bothered about what I'm doing to try and beat them. Sure you might be playing some kind of board game with you kids and not do you very best so that they can win because it's more fun to see them happy. I can see that as an exception.

There certainly seems to be a lot of narcissism. Doesn't have to rise to the level of full NPD, just talking a lot of people seemingly in need of external validation.
Wonder if it is related to the increase in single parent households/two income households and kids not getting as much parental attention.

There was a thread earlier this week about women being attracted to men that have an edge.
I could be full of it, but I would guess that is where middle-ish scores land- aware of other people and their chitty games, maybe capable of playing if provoked, but with a basically honorable core and not an outright dink.
I push back here more than IRL.

I guess it is what happens when you see that no matter how hard you work/study, others have simply been born with better luck
oddly enough, I still believe in treating others as I would like to be treated

Does higher correlate to narcissism? I felt some of the questions were too vague and circumstantial.
