Light Triad Test: Am I a Good Person?

What Is the Light Triad Test?

The light triad is the answer to the dark triad — the well-known cluster of personality traits (narcissism, Machiavellianism, psychopathy). Researchers Scott Barry Kaufman and his collaborators proposed in 2019 that there’s a corresponding bright cluster: Kantianism (treating people as ends in themselves, not means), humanism (valuing human dignity and worth), and faith in humanity (believing people are fundamentally good).

This quiz takes 13 plain-language questions about how you actually treat people, what you believe about them, and where you put your trust. The result places you in one of five archetypes — from “Pure Light” through to “Mostly Dark Side.” Yes, the dark side counts here too. Real people are mixed.
