Machiavellian is sneaky, cunning, and lacking a moral code.
The word comes from the Italian philosopher Niccolò Machiavelli, who wrote the political treatise The Prince in the 1500s, that encourages “the end justifies the means” behavior,especially among politicians.
Though not every Machiavellian has a high IQ, there is some evidence that, of the dark triad traits, Machiavellianism is most closely associated with intelligence.
Machiavellianism in psychology refers to a personality trait that sees a person so focused on their own interests they will manipulate,deceive and exploit others to achieve their goals.
Machiavellianism is one of the traits in what is called the ‘Dark Triad’.
Machiavellians can experience romantic attraction and form attachments, including falling in love.
However,they tend to view relationships as a means to an end, or struggle to prioritize their partner’s wants or needs.
Machiavellianism are more drawn to academic majors like economics, law and politics as opposed to the “person-oriented” majors like education, nursing and social work that were associated with lower Machiavellianism scores.
The Machiavellian intelligence hypothesis proposes that individuals in complex social groups require sophisticated social cognition.
This hypothesis has advanced our understanding of the complex social lives of animals and how individuals interact with others in their groups.
