So, I’m trying to put together this reading map website thing for work on a book called The Birth of Venus. The story is set during the Early Renaissance so I’ve been looking up important figures from that time period. In the process, I came across this personality test from Salon magazine which is supposed to calculate “whether you subscribe to the ideas” of the 16th century Italian political philosopher, Machiavelli. My score ended up being high, which apparently means that I am “charming, confident and glib, but also arrogant, calculating and cynical, prone to manipulate and exploit”. And I always thought I was a pretty nice person most of the time.
The Machiavelli personality test has a range of 0-100
Your Machiavelli score is: 63
You are a high Mach, you endorse Machiavelli’s opinions.Most people fall somewhere in the middle, but there’s a significant minority at either extreme.
