What's your Mach-IV Machiavellianism score?

[MENTION=3213]Wes Mantooth[/MENTION] i would do it, but probably not the right person as i am the most ignored poster on this board

If you have a problem with only 1 or 2 people there is a good chance it is them. When you have a problem over and over and over with multiple posters than the problem is most likely you. You are not some beacon of insightful truth. Take a long hard look at your posts and how you communicate and I bet you can see the problem.

or maybe we live in a world where people get triggered to easy!
 
I tend to think those of us with higher scores would inherently be more honest.

Why? I would think the opposite. High scores mean that honesty is less important to you than e.g. getting the results you want.
 
I'd find it fun to discuss each question here. Maybe someone could start a thread for question 1 today. A new thread for question 2 tomorrow. Like that.
I went back into it and the first question wasn't the first question the first time. I think.

Anyway, the first question this time was: People suffering from incurable diseases should have the choice of being put painlessly to death.

This is a strong Agree for me. I have an incurable disease, and I'm not finding the pain and suffering to be that much fun. As it gets worse, I would really appreciate the opportunity to decide when I've had enough. I do not find suffering to be noble. When I get to the point where my quality of life is gone, and when I become a burden to my loved ones, then I would like to pick my time to die. To be honest, there is a possibility that I will pick my own time anyway, but it would be nice if it was an acceptable thing where you could be surrounded by your loved ones and get to say good-bye. I no longer believe that suicide is a sin and that a judgmental god will punish me for determining when I have had enough.

My understanding is that a real Machiavellian would purposefully get lower results so they seem more honest.
 
That's cool. Keep in with your normal style. See how far it gets you. Bye.

let's agree to disagree. it might sound cliche but their is a silent majority. or atleast the silent minority is expanding and growing!

i know in real live people think i am the most friendly and sociable guy ever!


i will stop derailing this thread, even though i think you started derailing it. before jason gets mad at me for derailing another thread

I got 69. I tried hard to answer agree or disagree and not in the middle.

LOL - my 71 had a lot of "neutral" answers, smack dab in the middle - and yet our scores are very close!

I wonder if some questions were weighted differently than others?
 
59, like bullletproof I rarely answer with a strongly agree/strongly disagree on these type of things.
