I had to look up a word today....Machiavellianism.
So the meaning? It is a personality trait that basically says you have an agenda (whether legit or not), using some type of manipulation (as necessary) and this in the end....will give you the ability to control or gain power.
Yeah, it's probably not a good trait. I don't think there's much of a rehab for you...if you got it.

It is said that Niccolò Machiavelli is considered the 'father of political science'. In the same breath is is also considered a 'teacher of evil'. That would explain a great many things with politicians. I studied his works in college and found him to be a complete sociopath, devoid of any sympathy or connection with anyone. I've often wondered if he was the first to coin the phrase, 'If you cannot dazzle them with brilliance. Baffle them with bullshit'.
