I've done this test before. I'm always high-Mach, even though I'm considered a good guy. I know how to score 100 on it. :P EDIT- Scored 83 this time. Edited by Sedulius, Jul 29 2008, 08:29 PM.

55 Low mach. Ideally I aspire to get a 0 on this scale, however I have a paranoid pathology that interferes with my judgment and what I hold to be true and right. Edited by Tristan da Cunha, Jul 29 2008, 10:57 PM.

I think that getting a 0 on that scale would require me to make some judgment about human nature that are contrary to my observations. |

49. Low Mach. I actually thought I'd be lower but I guess I have a bit of ruthlessness in me somewhere. As a Christian, I don't see how I could score a high-mach though sometimes I think that could have served me well in life I am not sure I'd like myself very much. |

Well Harumf and I are at the same level :D I think though that some of the questions don't require one to be ruthless yourself; in some cases its enough to recognize that others are ruthless. |

75...I have dealt with and continue to deal with cutthroat people. The name of the game is survival. |

Why am I the highest? (And no, I didn't rig it. That is my honest score.) I don't want to be the highest. |

Draxis may have an opportunity to exceed your score. IIRC he also is a Machiavellist. |

57. Not bad, that was actually kind of hard to do. Some good questions there. |

79. Crap test. Poorly worded. Gave a lot of 3s... and I hate giving 3s - shows you don't have conviction. |

And to be honest, it doesn't really ask how you might act personally. It's really just a test on your outlook on other people. Edited by Sedulius, Jul 30 2008, 06:29 PM.

To me, being Mach is subjective. There are those whom I would treat very differently than others. That's just human nature. I tend to treat people the way they portray themselves to be treated.

I find the 19th question, about people having the choice of killing themselves or not, to be pretty stupid. A real Machiavellian would rather someone with an incurable disease to be forced to remain alive and work as a slave for them for as long as their illness permits, rather than give them the choice to die or not. |
