The Dark Triad, or dark personality, is a mixture of narcissism, machiavellianism and psychopathy. What is hidden behind this shady character?

The Dark Triad is a psychological construct that identifies some personality traits not necessarily pathological, deriving from the mixture of narcissism, machiavellianism and psychopathy. These people have characteristics that do not perfectly reflect one of the three categories mentioned but share some aspects that, instead of making them pleasant and unpleasant, are highly attractive and successful.
