This seems unsurprising. People with dark triad traits tend to more easily deviate from reality based on the stimulus they receive, making them much more receptive to extremist propaganda of any political leaning.

- AbrahamParangi 6y agoNo offense but I think this is a poor model for both dark triad traits and political authoritarianism. I recommend you look at it from an anti-sociality perspective - particularly the willingness to act anti-socially in order to achieve some desired end, whether that be "justice", "greatness", "fairness" or "equity". Moreover equating rationality with good, "non-extremist" behavior is a mistake. Pro-sociality is only sometimes rational, and rationality is only sometimes good.
