Everyone that we measure tends to be machiavellian to some degree.
Do you think you have a knack for manipulation or a cynical view of human nature? You might be more Machiavellian than you realize. In this episode of 'All in the Mind', host Sanne Kadar takes you on a journey through the intriguing world of Machiavellianism and the so-called 'dark triad' of personality traits. This trio includes Machiavellianism, narcissism, and psychopathy—traits that can make social interactions a minefield. Ever wondered what makes someone a Machiavellian?
This episode breaks it down, discussing how these traits manifest and what drives such behavior. It also explores how gender influences Machiavellian tendencies and whether people with these traits can change. You’ll even get a chance to take tests to see where you stand on the Machiavellian scale. Plus, the episode dives into coping strategies for dealing with manipulative individuals and debates around the theoretical framework of the dark triad.
Whether you're fascinated by psychology or looking for ways to navigate tricky social dynamics, this episode offers valuable insights without drowning you in jargon. Tune in for an enlightening and engaging discussion that promises to make you think twice about the people around you—and maybe even yourself.
