Got a dark personality? Psychologists can help you choose your career wisely

A study of 600 U.S. undergraduates found that psychopathy, Machiavellianism, and narcissism are linked to different career interests.

Many dark-triad traits were associated with roles centered on power, influence, and persuasion.

The findings could help educators and employers understand how dark traits shape career paths and identify possible toxic leadership.

They may also help guide people toward healthier work environments and better job matches.
