This is a sort of rudimentary Machiavellian test: www.salon.com/books/it/1999/09/13/machtest/I got high, heh, 69 percent or something. The test itself is really easy to manipulate though because the questions are so obvious, so if you were truly Machiavellian surely you would answer in a way that puts you in a good light?

I cheated to make myself feel better and still ended up with a rather worryingly high score. I obviously don't know myself.

Hmm, I scored 67 - which surprises me slightly as I put in all the answers I thought it wanted to hear ...

My result sounds about the same as yours, xenomaniac. I don't know myself either. Aisleyne would be so ashamed of me.

"The Machiavelli personality test has a range of 0-100 Your Machiavelli score is: 68 You are a high Mach, you endorse Machiavelli's opinions."
Er, ok.

Whee! 68. Though I don't think Machiavelli ever wrote about PT Barnum, what with living four centuries before him and all.

I'm apparently a 'high mach' at 79. That's not me at all!

Bah! Machievelli was a modern satire in it's time, and not an ethical schematic

71. I can't say surprised. in fact, I'm slightly surprised that it wasn't higher based on the How Shit Is Society questions.

Hey, I've got Shannen Doherty as my avatar. That should be all the warning you need that I will choke a bitch if I have to.

60. I am an average Mach, which I like. I am neither 'arrogant and cynical' nor 'socially inept'.
