Abstract:

Two forms were developed to assess the Dark Tetrad traits. Both assess psychopathy, narcissism, Machiavellianism, and sadism as well as four Bright side facets achievement, even tempered, selflessness, and virtue of the Big Five personality dimensions. The versions include a traditional single statement format with a 5-point Likert response scale and a two-alternative forced-choice format with multidimensional paired statements. Software for scoring the response formats was also developed. The statements were administered to a sample of USAF Basic Recruits and MTurk workers to assess their psychometric characteristics.
