Describe Yourself, Know Yourself: Natural Language Descriptions of Personality and Dark Triad Traits

• Using quantitative semantics we found that individuals’ freely generated self-descriptions are associated to measures of their dark traits (Machiavellianism, narcissism, and psychopathy). In addition, individuals who score high in these malevolent traits display self-awareness of their behavior by the words they choose to describe themselves (e.g., “mean”, “sarcastic”).
