Narcissism is characterized by a strong sense of entitlement and grandiosity, a high need for power, and an arrogant and condescending attitude

Psychopathy: This trait is often viewed as the darkest of the dark triad. It’s characterized by a lack of empathy, guilt, or remorse, recklessness, deceptiveness, fearlessness, and a manipulative interpersonal style.

Machiavellianism is characterized by a cynical view of human nature, a distrust of people, and a calculating and deceitful interpersonal style.
