    Default Machiavelli Personality Test

    Out of curiosity, I'd like to see how Machiavellian various Orgahs are. This is a personality test - fairly apolitical, which is why I put it in the Frontroom.

    Here is the test.

    Here is a very brief explanation:

    Quote Originally Posted by www.salon.com

High Machs constitute a distinct type: charming, confident and glib, but also arrogant, calculating and cynical, prone to manipulate and exploit. (Think Rupert Murdoch, or if your politics permit it, President Clinton.)

    True low Machs, however, can be kind of dependent, submissive and socially inept. So be sure to invite a high Mach or two to your next dinner party.
    Here are my results:

    Your Machiavelli score is: 85

    "high Mach", you endorse Machiavelli's opinions.

    Most people fall somewhere in the middle, but there's a significant minority at either extreme.

    Strange, never really saw myself as a Machiavellian thinker...
    At the end of the day politics is just trash compared to the Gospel.

    Why did the chicken cross the road?

    So that its subjects will view it with admiration, as a chicken which has the daring and courage to boldly cross the road,
    but also with fear, for whom among them has the strength to contend with such a paragon of avian virtue? In such a manner is the princely
    chicken's dominion maintained. ~Machiavelli

    72. High Mach. No surprises here.
    Be intent on loyalty
    While others aspire to perform meritorious services
    Concentrate on purity of intent
    While those around you are beset by egoism

    Mostly due to my generally poor opinion of the average human being, and a growing sense of disillusionment with ideals and idealism. Oh, well, I can live with it
