This is my favorite personality trait (because I score very high!). Its named after the Italian philosopher who came up with 'the ends justify the means'.

My score: 78

Post yours and discuss being rationally evil!

Your score was 50 of 100.

This puts you in the category of the low Machs, people who will hold out for the goodness of the world and avoid manipulation. Not the people Machiavelli would approve of.

Indeed not, but this test was posted on WrongPlanet before and I remember I scored something like 78 then which was very high Mach. However that had something to do with circumstances in my life when I was in quite a dangerous situation and very traumatised. Surely, whether you are in dangerous or settled circumstances can affect Machiavellianism even for the same person.

60

so people should lie to get ahead? was that the "correct" answer?
eventually people who believe this will be lied to, by a better liar.

I'll take my chances with perseverance and effort.

Your score was 88 of 100.

This puts you in the category of the high Machiavellians, people who do not believe in the goodness of the world and that because that it must be manipulated, people whom Machiavelli would approve of.

I gotta work on raising that score... :twisted:
