High Mach

The Machiavelli personality test has a range of 0-100

Your Machiavelli score is: 73

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.

- Take the Machiavelli personality test

Now, I've read some of Machiavelli's works, particularly The Prince, and really Machiavelli wasn't as bad of a guy as most people make him out to be. Most people, when hearing his name, automatically think of some power-hungry political cut-throat. He really wasn't that brutal. He does recommend being direct and forceful when necessary, but not unconditionally brutal. Meh. In any case, I guess I'm a 73.

    So, I’m an 85 - these tendencies have served me well!
