Introduction ‘Dark Triad’ is a constellation of three conceptually distinct but empirically overlapping personality variables. The members- Machiavellianism, narcissism and subclinical psychopathy – often show differential correlates share common core callous-manipulation. Objectives To validate an easy to use valid measurement for populations examining the 3 factors dark triad personality. Methods A pool items designed circumscribe classic conceptions Dark Triad constructs used Short were translated using multiple forward backward translation protocol. Participants consisted 391 adults recruited from social media. then asked rate their agreement with each 44 generated GSD3Q). Results participated, 51 (13%) male, 340 (87%) female mean age 41.4(SD=10.8). Corrected Item-Total Correlation was first reduction PCA eigenvalues >1.5 loading lower than 0. 400 factor independently. Finally, Principal Axis Factoring Varimax rotation led 9 Machiavellianism (alpha coefficient=0.659), 8 Narcissism coefficient=0.659) 10 Psychopathy coefficient=0.742).
