You Are Machiavelli's Spawn
You're going to get what you want, and no one's going stand in your way.
(Even if it's just knocking out your roomie to get the last ice cream sandwich!)
People who slow you down, simply need to be taken out - by any means possible.
You are the master of charming, wooing, manipulating, and intimidating.


NOTE: QUESTIONS 6-10 ARE INVERTED! FOR THOSE, ANSWER WITH THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT YOU MEAN!

Interestingly, same response.
Although likely different responses!
You Are Somewhat Machiavellian
You're not going to mow over everyone to get ahead...
But you're also powerful enough to make things happen for yourself.
You understand how the world works, even when it's an ugly place.
You just don't get ugly yourself - unless you have to!

I got somewhat Machiavellian too so I went back and chose the opposite of what I put before and it also came up somewhat Machiavellian. :?

It's a conspiracy. The machine and its creator(s) are only lulling you into a sense of complacency, so they can exploit the weakness of your unassuming nature.

Strange... I think that questions 6-10 are inverted.

This is my corrected result:

You Are Machiavelli's Spawn
You're going to get what you want, and no one's going stand in your way.
(Even if it's just knocking out your roomie to get the last ice cream sandwich!)
People who slow you down, simply need to be taken out - by any means possible.

You Are The Opposite of Machiavellian
You don't have a cynical, power hungry bone in your body.
Honest and kind, you believe being a good person is the most important thing.
While your upstanding morals should be admired, be careful!
You're at risk for being manipulated and toyed with.

I came out the opposite of Macchiavellian!

In 10th grade, my teacher made me do an experiment because I wanted to prove Machiavellianism didn't work. He let me teach class for the day. The whole class was disruptive and even throwing balls of paper at me. I then understood the need for some Machiavellianism.
