Narcissists report high emotional intelligence but perform worse on objective tests
An online survey in Spain found that the link between the Dark Triad traits and emotional intelligence depends on the assessment method used. One assessment indicated that individuals with pronounced narcissism and psychopathy tend to have lower emotional intelligence, while another suggested that individuals with pronounced narcissism tend to report higher emotional intelligence. The research was published in Personality and Individual Differences.
