Personality characteristics, often seen as universal adaptations that evolved in humans to meet the challenges posed by nature, might be misconstrued as something that people should always be higher on. While this statement might hold in many situations, the too-much-of-a-good-thing effect might be at play when people overuse their strengths. For example, an overly conscientious person might have a rigid perfectionism that their ability to finish and submit tasks in time.

To use a Star Wars analogy, we often think of the positive outcomes associated with bright personality but might miss the negative outcomes associated with excessively low or high personality characteristics, which is associated with the dark side of personality. In this podcast, we will speak with two experts from Hogan Assessment Systems (Dr Fuhrmeister and Dr Ferrell) on how we should think about dark personality and apply metrics surrounding the measurement of dark personality in practice.

Dr Fuhrmeister and Dr Ferrell have written an eChapter on the “added value of dark in selection” as part of a larger eBook that JVR Africa Group is compiling. Access to the eChapter can be obtained here: https://www.marketing.jvrafricagroup.co.za/dark-personality.
