A free Dark Triad Test: 18 original self-report items and three full thematic guides. Page memory only, without clinical traits, types or risk verdicts.
18 questions · about 5 minutes · no signup
Answer only for yourself. Answers remain in this page’s memory without saved drafts, quiz-flow statistics or personal-result sharing. Refreshing, changing language or leaving loses the attempt.
Refer only to yourself over the past three months and rate how accurately each sentence describes you: 1 Very inaccurate, 2 Somewhat inaccurate, 3 Uncertain or depends on the situation, 4 Somewhat accurate, 5 Very accurate. Three counts numerically without representing a stable neutral frequency. The separate prefer-not-to-answer option is unscored, without zero or midpoint substitution. All eighteen selections finish an attempt; each six-item group needs four numeric ratings for its raw sum, rated count and descriptive mean. Groups remain separate without a total, dominant type or risk result. Answers remain only in this page’s memory: refreshing, changing language or leaving loses them. No browser storage, quiz-flow statistics or personal-result sharing is used. Back edits are possible; retake or exit clears the attempt. All three full guides remain free.
Preparing the test…
When questioned, do you first check facts or protect an image? How do you explain information and respond to objections while pursuing aims? How do you respond after someone describes an effect? This owned original bank revisits topics discussed around the Dark Triad through three groups of specific practices: recognition and image, influence, and impact distance. Six items per group make eighteen. This web public preview carries forward the mini-program candidate’s Chinese items, accuracy options, four-rating minimum and independent scoring, with a new English trial translation and full readings. These are not standard narcissism, Machiavellianism or psychopathy scale scores, three personalities, or verdicts of goodness, danger, leadership or career fit. Every item offers an unscored preference not to answer, and missing groups are not filled in. All three nine-section guides remain free. To retain this bank’s privacy scope, answers stay in page memory: refreshing or changing language loses the attempt, quiz-flow statistics are not sent and personal results are not shared. Read public explanations before deciding whether to answer.
Read what each of the 3 parts explores. Your complete result presents them together; they are not mutually exclusive personality types. These public guides contain no one’s answers or personal means.
Read the recognition-and-image theme: six accuracy items, missing information, examples and limits, without narcissism or ability verdicts.
Read the influence theme: information, choice, six accuracy items, missing data and examples, without manipulation-skill or personality labels.
Read the impact-distance theme: six accuracy items, missing information, examples and limits, without empathy, psychopathy or risk verdicts.
No. This web edition carries forward eighteen owned original mini-program items, retaining Chinese wording, order, keys and scoring limits, with a new English trial translation. Its themes do not directly measure complete research traits or inherit established instruments’ norms or validation.
This edition has eighteen items, six per group, all direct with zero reversals. Choose a 1–5 accuracy rating or prefer not to answer for every item; eighteen selections finish an attempt. A group needs at least four numeric ratings to show its actual rated count, raw sum and two-decimal mean calculated from the unrounded sum divided by that count. Raw ranges are 4–20, 5–25 or 6–30 for four, five or six ratings. Six is not a universal denominator, and raw sums with different counts are not compared. Three means uncertain or conditional and counts numerically, not as a stable neutral frequency. Unscored preferences are excluded without zero or three substitution. Fewer than four ratings leave only that group insufficient. Other groups stay independent and all three nine-section guides remain readable. There is no total, highest type, high/low threshold or risk band. Means establish neither equal intervals, cross-group comparability nor reliable change.
This edition does not rank, add, set thresholds or assign types across groups. Each shows its own rated count, raw sum and descriptive mean, with all three complete guides retained. Fewer endorsements guarantee no safety; more certify no advantage or future harm.
No. This self-report concerns only your own past three months. It collects no other person’s information and supplies no hiring, relationship-screening, school, medical, forensic or security evaluation. A mean cannot explain someone else’s motives or risk.
This candidate retains the mini-program’s sensitive-topic privacy limits. Answers and personal results stay only in the current page’s memory, without browser storage, uploaded answers, quiz-flow statistics or personal-result sharing. Refreshing, changing language or leaving loses the attempt. Back edits are available while answering; exit or retake clears it. Public full text is unrelated to a private attempt. All three nine-section guides are free without email, payment or another assessment, and the website asks for no actual conflict, names or other people’s circumstances. Answer only for yourself over the past three months, never for a partner, colleague or anyone else. You may stop after reading. These explanations supply no hiring, relationship-screening, medical, forensic, security or school evaluation. A lower mean proves no safety, and a higher mean predicts no harm.
Recognition, information pressure and responses to effects have neighbouring topics, but items, recall periods, options and methods differ. Scores are not converted into a light/dark ratio or morality total. A focused thematic edition is not automatically a new independent construct.

Recognition and image concerns priorities around questions, comparison and attention. Influence concerns information, intention and another person’s choice. Impact distance concerns responses to expressed feelings or effects. These original themes do not separately equal three complete research traits or inherit SD3 or Dirty Dozen evidence through the title.
The 1–5 options concern how accurately a sentence describes you, not weekly frequency, impulse intensity or another person’s observation. Three means uncertain or conditional and cannot be relabelled a stable moderate tendency. Equal means can represent different patterns, and a numerical gap establishes neither improvement nor decline.
This public preview uses our owned original mini-program bank for three thematic self-observations, informed by topics commonly discussed around the Dark Triad. It supplies no standard narcissism, Machiavellianism or psychopathy scale scores and assigns no three personalities. It is neither SD3, Dirty Dozen nor a clinical, forensic or risk instrument and inherits no norms, validity or prediction from them. Answer only for yourself over the past three months. No morality, safety, violence, crime, future, health, career or hiring fit is assessed. Fewer endorsements guarantee no safety or absence of harm; more establish no ability or advantage.
