Personality has been derived from the Latin word Persona which means mask. It is the combination of individual thoughts, characteristics , behaviours , attitude , idea & habits. As Persona means mask hence it is something which one don't show to others from front ie.in front - you are something and at the back you are a totally new person .So one can be dark in nature/behaviours (Kind of personality disorder) Hence taking account of this the personality disorder is of three types :1) Machiavellianism 2) Narcissism 3) Psychopathy Together these three personalities are referred as dark triad of personality. The dark triad is a group of three personalities as mentioned previously and here the term DARK implies these traits are malevolent qualities (wish to do evil of others). 1) Machiavellianism :Machiavellianism is basically described as person's tendency to be unemotional and hence a kind of personality to deceive and manipulate others (one is focused on self interest) Eg :- A personality of this kind of a person never told anyone the real reason of doing something unless one feels it is useful to tell. ie. In TV Show - Game of Thrones - Lord Varys & Lord Baelish character is based on Machiavellianism. 2) Narcissism :-
Narcissism is basically lack of empathy ie. A personality disorder in
which a person is excessively preoccupied with personal adequacy , power ,prestige. For Eg :- In Movie Sweet & Low Down (2000)- Sean Penns character is based on Narcissism . 3) Psychopathy :Psychopathy is the personality disorder characterized by anti-social behaviour or bold behaviour ie. A person consider himself above others For Eg :- In Tv Show - Game of Thrones - Joffrey Baratheon character is based on Psychopathy.
