Selfie posers are psychopathic Machiavellian narcissists! (pics)

Two recent studies linked to an increasing body of research shows that people who post selfies on social networks are more likely to exhibit what some psychologists call “the dark triad”. The recent studies by Ohio State University and the journal of Social Networking conducted on nearly 1,200 men and women who completed personality tests and answered questions found that they had three traits in common:

The dark triad:
* narcissism (extremely self-centered)
* Machiavellianism (a tendency to manipulate others)
* psychoathy (acting impulsively with no regard for other people’s feelings)

While eding photos was linked to narcissism alone, posting more photos was correlated with both narcissism and psychopathy.

Another finding showed that the more people changed their profile picture the more likely they were to report narcissistic traits.
