Narcissism, psychopathy and machiavellian is um if we were to ask the three who has the darkest personality, the narcissist would say me, the psychopath would say I don't care and the Machiavellian would say it's whoever I wanted to be.

自戀、心理變態和馬基雅維利是嗯如果我們要問這三個人誰的人格最黑暗，自戀者會說是我，心理變態者會說我不在乎，馬基雅維利者會說是我想成為誰。

Mhm.

嗯。

People scoring high on the three traits are more likely to commit crimes and create severe social problems in society, families and organizations.

在這三個特徵上得分高的人更有可能犯罪，並在社會、家庭和組織中造成嚴重的社會問題。

This is why the research on the dark triad is used widely in law enforcement psychology and business.

這就是為什麼關於黑暗三合會的研究被廣泛用於執法心理學和商業。

Here is an overview of what we know.

以下是我們所知道的情況的概述。

The narcissist displays grandiosity, entitlement and superiority and wants nothing more than admiration once he gets what he wants, The narcissist is rarely interested in other people when he does care, it's to enhance his status, which is why he likes to mingle with successful others, they seem as though they're completely in love with themselves.

自戀者表現出宏大、權利和優越感，一旦得到他想要的東西，他只想得到別人的欽佩。自戀者在關心別人的時候，很少對別人感興趣，那是為了提高自己的地位，這就是為什麼他喜歡和成功人士打成一片，他們看起來好像完全愛上了自己。

But at the root of their inflated egos are often deeply held feelings of inferiority to protect their constructed self.

但在他們膨脹的自我的根源，往往是深藏的自卑感，以保護他們構建的自我。

They can never admit to being wrong, which is why they lie or blame others.

他們永遠不能承認自己的錯誤，這就是為什麼他們撒謊或指責他人。

Machiavelli ins are unprincipled cold and have a cynical view of other human beings.

馬基雅維利的見解是無原則的冷漠，對其他人類有一種憤世嫉俗的看法。

They like money power and winning and they use manipulation to get what they want or exploit others.

他們喜歡金錢權力和勝利，他們利用操縱來獲得他們想要的東西或剝削他人。

If manipulation doesn't work, they steal or betray those high on the spectrum, believe it's better to be feared than being liked and defend others as a strategy to control them when you are a psychopath, you come across as cold and others think you are scary, you also show little to no fear, Act impulsively and you enjoy mental thrills.

如果操縱不起作用，他們會偷竊或背叛那些光譜高的人，相信被人害怕比被人喜歡更好，並保護他人作為控制他們的策略，當你是一個精神病患者時，你表現得很冷漠，別人認為你很可怕，你也幾乎沒有表現出恐懼，衝動行事，你喜歡精神刺激。

Those high on the spectrum don't form any emotional bonds.

那些光譜高的人不會形成任何情感聯繫。

The result is a complete lack of compassion.

其結果是完全缺乏同情心。

That means they have no problem being mean.

這意味著他們沒有任何問題，是卑鄙的。

If something terrible happens, they later often don't feel any remorse or guilt.

如果發生可怕的事情，他們後來往往不會感到任何悔恨或內疚。

The research tells us that men score significantly higher on all three compared to women and while these three personalities are empirically distinct, they do overlap clinically.

研究告訴我們，與女性相比，男性在這三方面的得分都明顯較高，雖然這三種性格在經驗上是不同的，但在臨床上確實有重疊。

Both.

兩者都是。

Narcissism and psychopathy are regarded as mental disorders.

自戀和精神病態被認為是精神障礙。

While Machiavellian ism isn't whether nature or nurture is responsible for these traits has been somewhat answered by twin studies that show that narcissism and psychopathy have substantial genetic components.

雖然馬基雅維利主義不是天性還是後天造成的，但雙胞胎研究已經在一定程度上回答了這些特徵，這些研究表明，自戀和精神變態有大量的遺傳成分。

Machiavellian is um, seems to be less prevalent in pairs of twins.

馬基雅維利是嗯，在成對的雙胞胎中似乎不太普遍。

However, the environment also matters.

然而，環境也很重要。

A psychopath may not only pass down his genes but influence a child by being a role model.

一個精神病患者不僅可能傳下他的基因，還可能通過成為一個榜樣來影響孩子。

A Machiavellian father shares with his son.

一個馬基雅維利的父親與他的兒子分享。

Not only genetic material, but might also show him all his tricks.

不僅是遺傳物質，而且還可能向他展示他的所有技巧。

The son of a narcissist not only gets his dad's chromosomes, but may also experience his perfectionism with the big five personality traits also known as Ocean.

自戀者的兒子不僅得到他父親的染色體，還可能體驗到他的完美主義與五大人格特徵，也被稱為海洋。

The three correlate either positively or negatively.

這三者之間或正或負地相互關聯。

Narcissists and psychopaths are often open to new ideas and extroverted psychopaths and Machiavelli ins have low conscientiousness.

自戀者和心理變態者往往對新的想法持開放態度，外向型心理變態者和馬基雅維利ins的自覺性很低。

All three personality types score low on agreeableness and psychopaths are hardly neurotic, whatever happens, leaves them cold.

這三種人格類型在合意性方面的得分都很低，而且精神病患者幾乎沒有神經質，無論發生什麼，都會讓他們感到冷漠。

An evolutionary explanation for these traits could be sexual strategy.

對這些特徵的一個進化解釋可能是性策略。

Many of us pursue a slow life, invest in long term relationships have a few Children and spend time on parenting.

我們中的許多人追求慢生活，投資於長期的關係，有幾個孩子，花時間在養育孩子上。

Dark triad traits may have survived because they look to optimize a fast life.

黑暗三合會的特徵可能倖存下來，因為他們期待優化快速的生活。

Their ancestors lived in an unpredictable and dangerous world because of a shorter life they sought.

他們的祖先生活在一個不可預測和危險的世界，因為他們追求的是更短的生命。

Many sexual partners spent no time on parenting and did not invest in human relationships.

許多性夥伴沒有花時間在養育孩子上，也沒有在人際關係上投資。

This may also explain why they strive in competitive environments such as corporations here, a machiavellian may use charm and insults to manipulate others.

這也可以解釋為什麼他們在競爭激烈的環境中努力工作，比如這裡的公司，一個大男子主義者可能會使用魅力和侮辱來操縱他人。

The narcissist, his physical appearance and a psychopath, physical threats.

自戀者，他的身體外觀和一個精神病患者，身體威脅。

And since they all like compassion, they often elbow their way to the top.

由於他們都喜歡憐憫，所以他們經常用肘擊的方式達到頂端。

Which is maybe why all three dark traits are well represented in upper level management.

這也許就是為什麼這三種黑暗特徵在高層管理中都有很好的體現。

But there are also downsides.

但也有弊端。

If your mind was programmed to be impulsive, aggressive and selfish, you are also more likely to abuse drugs.

如果你的思想被編程為衝動、好鬥和自私，你也更有可能濫用藥物。

Feel excluded, suffer from depression or end up in jail.

感到被排斥，患抑鬱症或最終入獄。

This is why we may not only find ways to protect ourselves from these darker minds but also have empathy for them after all, maybe they didn't choose to be that way.

這就是為什麼我們可能不僅要想辦法保護自己不受這些黑暗思想的影響，還要對他們產生同情心，畢竟也許他們沒有選擇成為那樣的人。
