Abstract
In 5 studies (N = 1,274) we developed and validated a Polish translation of the Dirty Dozen measure of the Dark Triad—narcissism, psychopathy, and Machiavellianism. We detail the presence and stability of the bifactor structure of the 12 items. Tests suggest the Polish Dirty Dozen has good internally consistency and test–retest reliability. We show that the subscales have acceptable construct, convergent, discriminant, and predictive validity with measures of sociosexuality, criminality, aggression, Big Five personality, and longer measures of the Dark Triad. Using both self- and peer-report data, we provide evidence of how the Polish Dirty Dozen traits relate to indicators of a fast, agentic, selfish, and competitive life strategy versus a prosocial or communal one. Although concise measures have limitations, our results suggest that the Polish Dirty Dozen—Parszywa Dwunastka—is valid, stable, and useful.
