Do you watch Star Wars and avidly root for Darth Vader? The Dark Side seems like it just might be welcoming to those who want to let the hate flow through them!
Dark traits and dark thoughts can seem worrisome to many. But some people find comfort in the darker themes of life.
Whether they are branded as “emo,” “goth,” or just plain dark, people who have dark thoughts can be considered dangerous.
There are actual tests that describe how someone’s thoughts and personality traits can affect those around them. They also can signal a dark factor that is underlying inside someone.
What kind of core do you think you have? A light core? Or a dark core? Take this quiz and we’ll help you find out!
Am I dark?
If you're wondering how dark you are, you should try to change your mindset!
Sometimes, you might say something that you don't think is incredibly dark, and yet it comes out way darker than you intended. Sometimes, you're just trying to say a joke with dark humor, but people take it too seriously.
There is such a thing as a Dark Core Personality Test that people can take to see how they fall. If they fall into the Dark Factor of Personality, they are known as antagonistic and malevolent.
The study was posted by the University of Copenhagen, Ulm University, and the University of Koblenz-Landau, and it found that people with dark traits tend to feel the same way about similar things, especially themselves.
They are incredibly egotistical, and egoism is a key marker of the dark core personality test. The Dark Triad of Dark Core are Machiavellianism narcissism and psychopathy.
If someone has all three of those, they are considered dark. While there's nothing wrong with a little black humor now and again, if they're making people uncomfortable, they may want to change up your dark ways.
