What is the Dark Triad?

Three core personality trait dimensions that underlie the Dark Triad are:

Psychopathy: The tendency to show little regard for the thoughts, feelings, and outcomes of others.

Narcissism: The tendency for one to show a particularly high focus on oneself.

Machiavellianism: The tendency to manipulate others for one’s own personal gain.

1. He's at the high end of malignant narcissism spectrum which encompasses those 3 features

I have known several friends and relatives and co-workers with varying degrees of narcissistic personality disorder but none come anywhere near to him on the scale of meanness, dishonesty and absolute self-interest promoting his own personal gain from every transaction.
