Thanks! >You might say "couldn't a high D (dark traits) person mask as a low D person, as a wolf in sheep's clothing?" I don't think so, or at least they usual

Thanks! >You might say "couldn't a high D (dark traits) person mask as a low D person, as a wolf in sheep's clothing?" I don't think so, or at least they usually won't. "person" The analytical error here is the assumption that political actors are individuals -- we're certainly trained in US to think that way -- but historically political actors are part of some sort of collective process. To wit, we could be dealing with a high D ideology and a well trained member.

There is no doubt the competitive ideology is high D https://exper.psy.rptu.de/hilbig/get.php?p=140 https://exper.psy.rptu.de/hilbig/get.php?p=140 What could be higher D then “Many people should lose their health care coverage so a few wealthy people can get richer?” Personally I think a lot of leftists on Mastodon and AoC are high D. I think Mitt Romney is low D. The conservative in me thinks “politicians model behavior for other people.” In Trump’s first term my mother-in-law took a break from the casino because drunks felt empowered to grab ass. I’d much rather my son talk like Mandami or Romney rather than Trump or AoC.

  >where the highest D country in the world (China) Are you referring to the D in DISC? https://blog.assessments24x7.com/disc-world-map/ https://blog.assessments24x7.com/disc-world-map/ I don't know about China (roughly on par with US in that link), but the other high-D countries (languages) make sense to me in your take Russian Turkish, Indonesian, Hungarian, even Dutch.. Edit: found a country table for Machiavellianism/narcissism, I don't fully understand what it says, but numbers columns "M" (mildly) correlates with "D" above. (Ireland is a surprise??!! Turkey, I assume foul play by authors lol) https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Descriptive-statistics-of-dark-triad-traits-by-country_tbl1_349821893 https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Descriptive-statistics-o... Maybe you have a more reliable source?

    Low D in high D is an mindblowing concept! Low D examples from those countries seem like next level of human evolution, almost like an impossible superposition of warmth+cool
