Dark Core Personality Test
What is your dark core score?
Researchers Mashagen, Ph.D., Hilbig, Ph.D., and Zettler, Ph.D., have discovered that there is a common core to dark traits, which they call the Dark Core of Personality. The dark core is a general dispositional tendency, out of which dark traits arise as specific manifestations. That is to say, all commonalities between various dark traits can be traced back to this core.
