What is your opinion about the people in your life and that you've been surrounded by?
You probably have them in several categories like good, bad, entertaining, boring, always happy or sad, and so on.
But how do you judge people as being either of a good nature, or an evil or machiavellian nature?
Some people make these judgments based on other people's words alone.
Others judge people based only on their actions.
While a few others, judge people based on both words and actions.
Which makes sense because "The words of a person can give you a taste of their heart."
However, according to new studies there is ONE factor that you can effectively use
to judge other people for how good or malevolent they can possibly be.
This factor is called The General Dark Factor of Personality, also called as "the D-Factor"
The definition is as follows.
General Dark Factor of Personality (D-Factor):
"The basic tendency to maximise one's own utility at the expense of others,
- disregarding, accepting, or malevolently provoking disutility for others -
accompanied by beliefs that serve as justifications for one's behaviors."
This is the basic law to which all of the dark traits associated with the d-factor, can be traced back.
The dark triad and the associated traits in general can be understood as instances of this common core.
