In this two-study paper we examined three dark-side measures: the short Dark Tetrad measuring four dark-side traits; the SCATI measuring 14 personality disorders (PDs) and the SAPAS a single item measure for each disorder. The first study (N = 502) looked specifically at the new Dark Tetrad. Over 500 British Adults completed it and a confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the Tetrad factor structure. There were large sex differences in half of the items. We also examined demographic, ideological and self-rated correlates which showed ratings of political beliefs and self-rated attractiveness associated with different traits. The second study (N = 273) looked at the correlations between the three measures and the overlap between self-report tests of the same trait. All four of the Tetrad traits correlated with over half of the PDs. We found the highest correlation between the two scores of Narcissism, but that the single measure most associated with Borderline, Depressive and Dependent PD. The discussion considers the use of different clinical and sub-clinical instruments which measure the same variables.

在这份为期两篇的研究论文中，我们研究了三个暗面措施：测量四个暗面特征的短版Dark Tetrad；SCATI衡量14种人格障碍（PD），SAPAS衡量每种疾病的一项。第一项研究（N  = 502）专门研究了新的《黑暗四合会》。超过500名英国成年人完成了这项工作，并进行了验证性因素分析，证实了Tetrad因素结构。一半的商品有很大的性别差异。我们还研究了人口统计，意识形态和自我评价的相关性，这些相关性显示了与不同特征相关的政治信仰评价和自我评价的吸引力。第二项研究（Ñ = 273）考察了三个量度之间的相关性以及同一性状的自我报告测验之间的重叠。Tetrad的所有四个特征都与一半以上的PD相关。我们发现自恋的两个得分之间的相关性最高，但该单一量度与“临界线”，“抑郁”和“依赖PD”最相关。讨论考虑使用测量相同变量的不同临床和亚临床仪器。
