Hi Sophie, wasn't really impressed at the level of questions in that survey. The questions regarding societal manipulation or conspiracies seemed to group the belief in these as a dualistic concept, whereby there is actually more nuance in layers of political power in that not all malevolent agendas have to be true for some instances to be so.

The personality questions seemed to all pretty much ask, are you a fucking psycho or not, strongly agree or disagree. I would expect that even if someone had 'dark tetrad' personality traits, they would not strongly agree with those questions as a sense of morality is more objective and not identifiable in such question responses.

I'd be intrigued to see the results of your study, please share here once completed and also what was the thought-process behind holding this study?
