Was going to put this in the Anger Energy thread, but I think this deserves its own. Fascinating research on light vs. dark personality traits. It acknowledges that we all possess both, but we tend to fall more towards one side than the other. Interesting to know that while much research has been done on the Dark Triad (Psychopathy+Narcissism+Machiavellianism), little has been done on the Light Triad, in fact these authors are the ones who defined what the Light Triad is. There's also a handy little quiz embedded in the article to help us see where we fall on this spectrum.
Hmm, fun quiz. I got an overall score of 1.6 (light). I can't help but think if I took this quiz before Nov 2016, my score would have been higher....my optimistic opinion of "my fellow men" has taken a bit of a beating over the past few years.
Laura: Thanks for posting this test, it was fun. My husband and I both took the test (I was 35.42 and he was 33.33 to the light side). Funny that he and I tested around the same amount.
