No, I am not making a logical mistake, and your 'invalidation' of my argument is actually just restating it.
> You assume that if having certain traits makes you more likely to be effective evil mastermind it also means it must make it less likely that you are good person.
I do not, and I don't assume that the traits listed make you more likely to be an evil mastermind or a good person, I think they are completely unrelated to morality, and only related to effectiveness (this is what I mean when I say the traits don't correlate with being a good person at all). If you wanted to find the most effective neutral people, you would look for the same traits, because that's what they measure: effectiveness.
Another way of putting your claim: effective people are more likely to be good people. I think that is a very bold claim and have seen no evidence of it in my life, competence and goodness are orthogonal.
