The average person displays both triads
The light triad is not simply the opposite of the dark triad. There is a little bit of light and dark in each of us.
A study revealed that the average person is leaning more toward the light triad than the dark in their everyday patterns of thoughts, behaviors, and emotions. Extreme malevolence is rare in the general population.

"Indifference of the indicator"

The dark traits of personality
We all know people who consistently display ethically, morally and socially unreasonable behavior. Personality psychologists refer to these characteristics as "dark traits."
Researchers emphasize that these dark traits are related to each other, so they suggest that a D-factor exists. This is defined as the basic tendency to maximize one's own goal at the expense of others, and believing that one's malicious behaviors are justified.
Scoring high on the Dark factor
- Those who score high on the D-factor aren't always uncooperative, as they can be very strategic in choosing when to cooperate.
- Those scoring high on the D-factor will not be motivated to help others in need without it benefiting themselves.

Light And Dark Triads
Our personalities have two distinct triads: The Light Triad and The Dark Triad. The dark ones sometimes overlap with the light ones to form a complete personality.
The Dark Triad, which is associated with the Seven Deadly Sins (Lust, Anger, Greed, Sloth, Gluttony, Pride and Envy) seems to be very fascinating, with many researchers drawn towards it just like viewers are drawn to serial-killer shows and murder mysteries.
The Dark Area Of Our Personalities
There are certain personality traits in literature that fall under the Dark Triad:
- Machiavellianism: A tendency to strategically exploit or deceive other people.
- Subclinical Narcissism: It means focusing towards the self, giving oneself entitlement and importance.
- Subclinical Psychopathy: A tendency to be insensitive and cruel with regards to others.

Why Do People Mistake Narcissism for High Self-Esteem?
Narcissists Will Catch Our Eye
In spite of the exhibitionism, arrogance, vanity and a massive superiority complex, narcissists seem attractive, and alluring to a large section of people.
This surprising out...
The First Impression
While people perceive narcissism to be an undesirable quality in others, the first impression that gets created in seeing a narcissist is a positive one.
It may be due to the narcissists strategically presenting themselves in ways in which they are perceived having high levels of self-esteem.
Emerging Zone and Enduring Zone
- Narcissists may seem alluring because they seem like a catch, living in the 'emerging zone' of life, which manifests itself in parties, early-stage relationships, and places where making a good first impression is key.
- When narcissists move towards the 'enduring zone', which involves continuing a relationship, and long-term consequences, they start behaving arrogantly and negatively.
