✅ Checklist of Dark Core Traits and Characteristics Full Scoring Worksheet
Dark Core Traits & Characteristics Checklist
🔥 Understand the Psychology That Powers Abuse. Document It with Precision.
Some of the most devastating abuse is not loud—it’s calculated, covert, and corrosive. The Dark Core Traits & Characteristics Checklist helps you identify these dangerous patterns—rooted in traits like Machiavellianism, Narcissism, Psychopathy, Sadism, Moral Disengagement, Egoism, Entitlement, and Dehumanization. 🧠 Whether you’re a survivor, advocate, or mental health professional, this tool empowers you to name what’s happening—before confusion turns to damage.
⚠️ Not a Diagnostic Tool
This checklist is intended for informational and awareness purposes only. It is not a substitute for clinical diagnosis and should not be used to label others without professional evaluation.
💡 Why Awareness Matters
When you understand dark core behaviors—like manipulation, calculated charm, lack of empathy, or sadistic control—you’re better equipped to recognize abuse in relationships, family court, institutions, and parenting dynamics. Naming the pattern is often the first step toward breaking it.
