Abstract
This is a meta-analysis of emotional intelligence (EI) and Dark Triad traits. EI is significantly and negatively related to Machiavellianism (overall EI: ▪ = −0.29; ability EI: ▪ = −0.31; trait EI: ▪ = −0.27) and to psychopathy (overall EI: ▪ = −0.17; ability EI: ▪ = −0.21; trait EI: ▪ = −0.16). EI is not related to narcissism (overall EI: ▪ = 0.02; ability EI: ▪ = −0.10; trait EI: ▪ = 0.05). The types of EI did not moderate the relationships between EI and Dark Triad traits. EI measures and measures of narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy exhibited significant moderator effects. Using EI scales may be a practical way to screen out candidates high in Machiavellianism and psychopathy.
