The Dark Triad refers to three theoretically-distinct but empirically overlapping personality constructs.

-The Narcissistic personality: Is characterized by a grandiose self-view, a sense of entitlement, lack of empathy, and self-centered egotist.

-The Machiavellian personality is characterized by manipulation and exploitation of others, with a cynical disregard for morality and a focus on self-interest and deception.

-The Psychopath, or Antisocial personality, is characterized by impulsive thrill-seeking, and in its "primary" form by selfishness, callousness, lack of personal affect, superficial charm, and remorselessness.
