Rate how well each statement generally reflects your views and conduct, from 1 Strongly disagree to 5 Strongly agree. Use the unscored response when needed without zero or midpoint substitution. Twelve English items preserve published Table 3 wording; Chinese is a website trial translation, without competitor scenarios or three personas. Each four-item part needs all four ratings for its raw sum and mean. All twelve ratings are required for the overall raw total of 12–60 and mean of 1–5. All items have the same key direction: words such as not or rarely are not reverse keys. The authors recommend focusing on the total; three facets receive descriptive readings with all three full guides, without a sole highest-score type. No dark-trait score, light/dark percentage or population percentile is computed. Results identify nobody as good or trustworthy and require neither forgiveness nor abandoned boundaries.

How do you generally view others’ good will and individual worth, and understand honesty and treating people as ends? This edition preserves twelve published Table 3 LTS English items with a Chinese trial translation and transparent raw scoring. All twelve ratings are required for an overall total and mean; each four-item facet keeps its rated count and raw reading. Missing information remains explicit without zero or midpoint filling. Following the authors’ total-first recommendation, three full guides appear together with examples, two comparisons and counterexamples. This is no goodness meter, trust certificate or inverse Dark Triad score.
Twelve items use the same key direction, from 1 Strongly disagree to 5 Strongly agree, with no reverse keys. Negative wording does not automatically reverse a key. Each four-item facet needs all four ratings for a raw sum of 4–20 and mean of 1–5. All twelve ratings are required for the overall raw total of 12–60 and mean of 1–5, computed from the unrounded item sum divided by twelve. Any unscored item prevents an estimated overall score, without zero or midpoint filling. Read the total first and facets descriptively; all three full guides appear together without a highest-score or tie-order type. There are no official norms, population percentiles, fixed regions, significant differences or local measurement validation. Three is the response midpoint, not a light/dark balance. Dark Triad traits were not measured and cannot be inferred through subtraction, a complementary percentage or a light/dark ratio.
The three LTS facets are Faith in Humanity, involving general expectations and forgiveness; Humanism, concerning dignity, appreciation and listening; and Kantianism, concerning honesty, authenticity and not treating people merely as tools. This tests neither an entire philosophy nor three exclusive personalities. The authors recommend focusing on the overall total and call for broader cultural and longitudinal research. Facets remain descriptive rather than deficits, conflicts, growth prescriptions or three direct inverses of Dark Triad traits.

No. Original research found the constructs were not direct opposites, and this edition does not measure Dark Triad traits. There is no complementary percentage, light/dark ratio or another assessment’s score. Self-reported agreement certifies neither morality, health, ability nor someone else’s intention. Source sample means are no website norms and decide no hiring, relationship or career question.
No. It records agreement with a statement without judging what happened, anyone’s safety or whether contact should continue. You may leave it unscored without supplying a private account or reason. Guides require no forgiveness, reconciliation, disclosure or abandoned boundary; optional reviews can remain reading without contacting anyone.
This edition adopts the twelve published Table 3 English items and three-facet organisation. Chinese is a FermatMind trial translation; unscored responses, strict completeness conventions, explanations and presentation are website adaptations. The authors described LTS as a first draft and recommended focusing on the total rather than three fixed kinds of goodness. Original correlations, reliability, sample means and other findings validate neither this Chinese version, missing-data convention nor individual interpretation and predict no personal life, health or career outcome. There is no Dark Triad bank, EQ, MBTI or career conversion, moral, trust, compatibility or clinical judgment. Higher scores certify nobody as safe, good or honest, and lower ones establish no evil, coldness or manipulation. The forgiveness item requires no forgiveness, reconciliation, renewed contact or abandoned boundary. No competitor scenarios, answer options, Dawn/Hearth/Lantern personas or report body are adopted.
All twelve items, overall reading and three full guides are free without signup, email or another test. Answers are scored in the browser without uploading or entering URLs or analytics; no personal account of harm or private assessment of another person is requested. Drafts require opt-in, remain in this tab for 24 hours and clear on completion, exit-and-clear or retaking. Optional sharing contains the test name and public link without answers, totals, means or internal IDs. Public guides contain no private attempts. Other assessments require separate full answers rather than types or careers filled in from these scores.
