Who was Machiavelli? He was an Italian historian, philosopher, writer from the 16th century who we now know by a classic statement: "The end justifies the means."
Machiavellianism is also a term that some social and personality psychologists use to describe a person's tendency to deceive and manipulate other people for their personal gain.
Quote:
Machiavellianism is one of the three personality traits referred to as the dark triad, along with narcissism and psychopathy. Some psychologists consider Machiavellianism to be essentially a subclinical form of psychopathy, although recent research suggests that while Machiavellianism and psychopathy overlap, they are distinct personality constructs.
Okay, you people with above 60-70, you're a bunch of self-serving psychopaths.

so it's only acceptable to be a self serving psychopath if you're a politician
Machiavelli himself never did say "the end justifies the means". In fact, he was very much against such reasoning. He claimed that the leader (the prince, the tyrant, whoever) should do whatever is necessary to reach his goals (for the good of the people), but chosing evil ways only as a last and unavoidable resort. It is very different. And I hate machiavelli, by the way. He was a sucker. And his writings are boring.
