CTRL ALT Desire

CTRL ALT Desire is an interactive personality game inspired by the Short Dark Triad (SD3), a psychological model used to measure three socially aversive personality traits: Machiavellianism, Narcissism, and Psychopathy.

Through a series of bold, morally ambiguous scenarios, this experience invites you to explore which shadow trait quietly influences your decision-making the most. Are you the mastermind, the star, or the wild card?

Each answer you choose feeds into a psychological archetype but don’t worry, it’s not a clinical diagnosis. It’s all about reflection, fun, and a dash of self-aware mischief.

Disclaimer: This game is for entertainment purposes only. It is not a scientifically validated assessment, nor should it be used to make judgments about yourself or others. Embrace the dark — responsibly.

Questions have been adapted from the SD3: Jones, D. N., & Paulhus, D. L. (2014). Introducing the short Dark Triad (SD3): A brief measure of dark personality traits. Assessment, 21(1), 28–41.
