In the first of two podcasts about personality, Mike and Elizabeth discuss a group of traits often referred to as the “dark triad” (Machiavellianism, narcissism, psychopathy) and their potential relationship with authoritarian political correctness and alt-right attitudes. We talk about the validity of the dark triad as a construct and a correlational study suggesting that dark triad traits may be linked to left- and right-wing authoritarianism.
