Machiavellianism Test
Background
The Machiavellian Personality Scale (MPS) is a psychological self-report assessment developed by Jason J. Dahling, Brian G. Whitaker, and Paul E. Levy (2009) to measure Machiavellian personality traits. The scale evaluates manipulative tendencies, unethical decision-making, interpersonal control, status-seeking behavior, and distrust of others.
The MPS was designed to provide a multidimensional assessment of Machiavellianism and includes four primary domains: Amoral Manipulation, Desire for Control, Desire for Status, and Distrust of Others. Higher scores may indicate stronger tendencies toward manipulation, interpersonal cynicism, dominance, strategic exploitation, and self-serving behavior.
Procedure
Read each statement carefully and select the response that best describes your usual attitudes, beliefs, or behaviors. Answer honestly and choose the option that most accurately reflects your experiences.

Scoring & Interpretation
