Channel: Sprouts
Date: 2021-11-11

In psychology, the dark triad represents three personality traits: Narcissism, Psychopathy and Machiavellianism. People scoring high on the 3 traits are more likely to commit crimes, and create severe social problems in society. What do you think? Can these traits be overcome or will they always cause problems for individuals and society?
