QUOTE(Wikipedia)
Machiavellianism is the term some social and personality psychologists use to describe a person's tendency to deceive and manipulate others for gain. Whether the gain is personal or not is of no relevance, only that the resulting actions are the goal and the means by which one achieves the results are only important insofar as it affects the results


So, how manipulative are you? Take the test here.

My score is 70. biggrin.gif

You are a low Mach, you reject Machiavelli's opinions. (score 49)

Your Machiavelli score is: 60
You are a "average Mach."
Most people fall somewhere in the middle, but there's a significant minority at either extreme.


Guess I am just average here wink.gif

hmm not taking the test, for the term emerged from people who obviously didn't read machiavelli and therefore thought he was pro rigorous power/might gaining.

Heh yeah, I was thinking the same. Guess they didn't read the prince. It isn't very scientific anyway, just for laughs.

I got an 88...according to this I'm charming and confident...take that! biggrin.gif

Actually...I think that the test is wrong because they say if you score high then you are also calculating and cynical, arrogant, and prone to manipulate...I refuse to accept it...I am far too awesome to be arrogant. laugh.gif

I got a 53.

Clearly all that means is that I can't make up my mind one way or the other.

Wait, that might not be true; I'll have to think about that.

No doubt inspired by Machiavelli's The Prince in which Machiavelli outlines the perfect ruler for europe and the world, particularly on man, Cesare Borgia.

without taking teh quiz I can tell you I have low Machs.


btw it's a good read.

59. But that's okay. I don't pride myself in my manipulative abilities.

Erhm... 90.

I remember playing risk every day in grade 6. My teacher let us skip periods to end games. After convincing two people into Kamakazi, turning someone into a blithering mess of fear for attack, forcing my teacher into a European death march and sacking Asia with nothing but intimidation, I got the nick name Machi and later the manipulater. You cannot manipulate the manipulator!

Well, guess I'm a High Mach ... I scored a 96.

But in my defense, i came home from work in a wicked mood, mad at somebody there & took the test somewhat as blowing off steam, I guess.

... weally, I'm not so all-that-bad. nono.gif
