In fairness, that part of the article seems like it might be an invention of the author, who probably is not all that qualified to develop a psychological inventory. I'd expect an instrument based on the described paper to be considerably more extensive, and presumably able to control for distinctions like these.
That said, I realize this is psych research and, in light of the ongoing replication crisis, may deserve somewhat less benefit of the doubt than I am giving it in this comment.
- tmoravec 6y agoThere's a disclaimer at the end of the article, right below the "test": > Note: The Dark Core Scale was adapted from the larger test battery. I selected the items on an ad-hoc basis for entertainment purposes, but I do not recommend using the scale to make any sort of diagnosis. The author is a well respected psychology researcher, teaching at Penn, etc.
