About this listen

Those who cannot connect with others or have the ability to disconnect from their emotions deliberately may be part of this obscure triad. There is a set of personality traits that define narcissism, Machiavellism, and psychopathy.

In the most extreme cases, individuals who share the characteristics of this triad become criminals or get lost in the broad spectrum of mental illness. However, some do not meet the criteria for a psychiatric diagnosis and live with us daily.

People who display these traits and forms of behavior are called obscure personalities because of their insensitive, selfish, malevolent tendencies in their relationships with others. Delroy Paulhus and Kevin-Williams, psychologists at the University of British Columbia, were responsible for baptizing as the obscure triad the most harmful part of human relations.
