Niccolò Machiavelli
Machiavellianism is "the employment of cunning and duplicity
in statecraft
or in general conduct". The word
comes from the
Italian Renaissance diplomat and writer Niccolò Machiavelli,
born in 1469, who wrote Il Principe (The Prince), among other
works.
In modern psychology,
Machiavellianism is one of the dark
triad personalities, characterized by a
duplicitous interpersonal
style, a cynical disregard for morality and a focus
on self-interest
and personal gain.
