The Dark Tetrad is a new model in the field of personality. Numerous studies have shown that there is a correlation between personality traits of Machiavellianism, subclinical narcissism, subclinical psychopathy and sadism. It has been shown that there is one superordinate factor of these personality traits and this model is called The Dark Tetrad. These personality traits are linked to the characteristics of selfishness, manipulation and callousness. The Dark Tetrad shows correlates with reduced empathy and use of manipulation tactics. The aim of this study was to find whether there is one superordinate factor of these personality traits. The second aim was to understand what is the relationship between empathy (affective empathy and cognitive Theory of Mind) and the use of manipulation tactics and The Dark Tetrad. In this study, 252 participants (90 men) participated in an on-line study. They completed the Short Dark Triad scale, Comprehensive Assessment of Sadistic Tendencies scale, The use of manipulation tactics scale, The scale of affective empathy and The Faux Pas test which measures the cognitive Theory of Mind. It has been shown that there is one superordinate factor of personality traits of Machiavellianism, subclinical narcissism, subclinical psychopathy and sadism. Second, it has been shown that there is a negative association between affective empathy and the cognitive Theory of Mind with Dark Tetrad personality traits except for narcissism, for which there was no correlation. In the hierarchical regression analysis none of the dark personality traits were statistically significant predictors of affective empathy or cognitive Theory of Mind. Furthermore, it has been shown that all Dark Tetrad traits are positively associated with the use of manipulation tactics but in the hierarchical regression analysis only Machiavellianism and sadism remained significant predictors of manipulative tactics. Dark Tetrad traits have been shown to differ in the types of manipulative tactics they tend to use.
