In conclusion, the dark tetrad is mostly unrelated to political orientation.

(The dark tetrad being: psychopathy, narcissism, sadism, Machiavellianism)

I thought this was interesting because the previous theories made sense to me as explanations of political orientation for certain cohorts, and I’d like to understand what creates such attitudes.

    Oh it’s a thing. Basically “just” the combination of now four traits that could be easily the worst humanity has to offer. Not saying everyone having any combination of traits is a monster.

    It’s psychopathy, narcissism, Machiavellism and most likely also sadism. And all those are basically hard requirements for top financial positions. So I kinda cannot really trust this news, it makes no sense.
