The Dark Triad is the dark triad of personality traits viruses The Light Triad is the light triad of personality traits. I ask which side are you on, the dark side or the light side. There is a test that can find out if are you dark or light.

The dark triad has already been well-studied. First discovered by Delroy Paulhus and Kevin Williams in 2002, the dark triad of personality consists of narcissism (entitled self-importance), Machiavellianism (strategic exploitation and deceit), and psychopathy (callousness and cynicism). While these three traits had traditionally been studied mostly among clinical populations (e.g., criminals), Paulhus and Williams showed that each of these traits is clearly on a continuum—we are all at least a little bit narcissistic, Machiavellian, and psychopathic.
To our surprise (we hadn't expected there to necessarily be three factors), three distinct factors emerged from our studies, which we labeled: Kantianism (treating people as ends unto themselves, not mere means), Humanism (valuing dignity and worth of each individual) and Faith in Humanity (believing in the fundamental goodness of humans):

Have you ever felt manipulated or used? Have you ever had a gut feeling about someone who kept asking you for favors? If so, you might have interacted with a person who has what is coined as the Dark Triad Personality (Paulhus & Williams, 2002). The dark triad personality refers to three negative personality traits: narcissism (entitled self-importance), Machiavellianism (entitled self-importance), Machiavellianism (strategic exploitation and deceit), and subclinical psychopathy (callousness and cynicism), which all share malevolent features.

The light triad consists of Kantianism, humanism, and faith in humanity. People with these traits are said to be primarily motivated by intimacy and self-transcendent values. The light triad was devised in contrast to the dark triad of personality — traits associated with narcissism, Mechiavialinism, and psychopathy. Both sets of traits have been correlated with other facets of personality, such as intellect and openness to experience. Light triad personality traits have been embodied by a number of notable figures throughout history, such as Gandhi, Mother Teresa, and Nelson Mandela.
I have always been told the Dark Side has cookies... I want help in deciding if you are dark or light...
The Light Triad vs. Dark Triad of Personality
New research contrasts two very different profiles of human nature
