Members of right‑leaning parties prefer leaders with dark triad personality

We used surveys of 4,266 members of these parties to learn more about their personalities – including those traits associated with the dark triad.

Of course, in psychiatry it’s considered unethical to diagnose someone with a personality disorder without meeting them – and we are most definitely not psychiatrists.

And yet despite this, the author went ahead and started diagnosing people anyway, as having "dark triad" traits, including psychopathy, despite the fact that psychopathy CANNOT be diagnosed from a self-report survey (for obvious reasons) and has to be diagnosed by an external observer.

What is the point of this whole article other than to label an entire group of people as bad on the back of laughably weak reasoning and evidence?

Doesn’t everyone tend to prefer leaders they can relate to?

Looking at their leaders, members and value systems ... well yes of course.
