Machiavellianism is a manipulative personality, derived from questioning individuals on how much they agree with statements derived from Machiavelli’s writings (Christie & Geis, 1970). Individuals high in Machiavellianism are called high-Machs, and they are characterized by a lack of empathy, low affect, possessing an unconventional view of morality—a willingness to manipulate, lie to, and exploit others—and focus exclusively on their own goals/ agenda, not those of others’ (Christie & Geis, 1970; Wu & LeBreton, 2011).
