They wanted to know why these traits exist and where they&#8217;re located in our body. Recently, a <a href=\"https:\/\/psycnet.apa.org\/doiLanding?doi=10.1037%2Frev0000111\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"><strong>groundbreaking study<\/strong><\/a> of over 2,500 people has identified a single underlying trait that links them all, the&nbsp;<strong>D Factor<\/strong>. Researchers from Germany and Denmark discovered that this core tendency drives various harmful behaviors, from manipulation to cruelty, depending on the individual and their environment. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dailybase.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2025\/03\/Man-evil.jpg\" alt=\"Man is very angry and evil with D factor score\" class=\"wp-image-12466\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dailybase.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2025\/03\/Man-evil.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.dailybase.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2025\/03\/Man-evil-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.dailybase.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2025\/03\/Man-evil-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dailybase.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2025\/03\/Man-evil-585x390.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.dailybase.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2025\/03\/Man-evil-263x175.jpg 263w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo Credit: Walter Martin| Unsplash <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The D Factor explains why some people consistently act in ways that harm others. People with high D Factor scores tend to prioritize their own interests at any cost. They&#8217;ll justify their actions regardless of the consequences or harm it does to others. While the specific traits might be different from person to person, for example, some might lie and manipulate, while others engage in aggressive or exploitative behavior, they all stem from the same psychological foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-this-explains-dark-personality-traits\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"This_Explains_Dark_Personality_Traits\"><\/span>This Explains Dark Personality Traits<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>By identifying the D Factor, psychologists can better predict destructive behaviors, including deception, violence, and even unethical decision-making in workplaces and relationships. The findings could be crucial for risk assessment in clinical settings and criminal investigations, offering deeper insights into what drives individuals with dark personality traits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you curious about your personal D-score? Then you can test it for yourself! The researchers have developed an online test to measure your D-score. Not everyone has high d-scores, however, having a high score doesn&#8217;t inherently mean you&#8217;re a bad person. The recent discovery shines a light on the hidden forces of human behavior. We&#8217;re also a step closer to understanding them, and manage or mitigate their impact! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-credit\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Credit\"><\/span>Credit: <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>APA PsycNet: <a href=\"https:\/\/psycnet.apa.org\/doiLanding?doi=10.1037%2Frev0000111\"><strong>Study<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Feature photo credit: Sander Sammy\/Unsplash<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you ever wondered how some people can have such dark personality traits, like narcissism, psychopathy, and sadism?
