There's a strong link between Machiavellianism and psychopathy. This is a very stable finding, regardless of the study, and in terms of age, it's quite a difficult thing to measure. Everyone that we measure tends to be Machiavellian to some degree.
Ever wondered what makes someone a master manipulator? This episode of 'All In The Mind' tackles the intriguing concept of Machiavellianism, inspired by the 16th-century Italian political philosopher Niccolo Machiavelli. Host Sonika Dar chats with experts Dr. Conal Monaghan and Dr. Daniel Jones to unpack what it means to have a Machiavellian personality and how it fits into the notorious 'dark triad' of personality traits, alongside psychopathy and narcissism. You'll learn about the Machiavellianism questionnaire, its strengths, and its limitations.
How does someone score high on this scale, and what does it reveal about their behavior? The episode doesn't just stop at definitions; it delves into real-world implications, particularly in the workplace. Ever had a colleague who seems to be pulling all the strings behind the scenes? Dr. Monaghan and Dr. Jones offer practical advice on how to navigate such tricky situations.
Whether you're dealing with a manipulative co-worker or just curious about the darker sides of human nature, this episode provides valuable insights and strategies. It's a fascinating look into how these traits manifest and affect those around them. Tune in for an eye-opening discussion that might just change how you see some of the people in your life.
