Mach IV Scale (Machiavellianism Test) - Trait Profiler Research Dataset

Abstract This dataset presents anonymized participant responses collected through the Trait Profiler implementation of the Mach IV Scale (Machiavellianism Test). The assessment was administered online between 2026-05-21 and 2026-06-01, resulting in a final sample of 46 completed responses. Data collection was conducted through the Trait Profiler assessment platform developed by Deen Mohd. Participants voluntarily completed the assessment for educational, self-exploratory, and research purposes. All records were anonymized prior to publication and no personally identifiable information is included in this dataset. The released dataset contains participant-level response data, assessment scores, and associated measurement information generated according to the scoring procedures of the Mach IV Scale (Machiavellianism Test). Researchers may use these data for psychometric evaluation, reliability analysis, exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, normative investigations, score distribution analysis, and methodological demonstrations. Dataset Characteristics Within the present sample, scores ranged from 28 to 55, producing an observed range of 27 points. The average score was 51.15, while the median score was 54. Variability within the sample was moderate, with a standard deviation of 5.25. The estimated 95% confidence interval for the sample mean ranged from 49.63 to 52.67. These findings provide an empirical overview of score distributions observed among individuals who voluntarily completed the assessment through the Trait Profiler platform. The data should not be considered representative of any national or clinical population; however, they may provide valuable reference information for comparative studies and future psychometric research. Contents of the Dataset The dataset includes anonymized item responses, calculated assessment scores, completion dates, and statistical information derived from participant submissions. The data are distributed in CSV format to facilitate reuse across statistical software environments including R, Python, SPSS, JASP, Jamovi, and Stata.摘要 本数据集收录了通过特质剖析器（Trait Profiler）实现的马基雅维利主义量表（Mach IV Scale，Machiavellianism Test）所采集的匿名被试作答数据。本次测评于2026年5月21日至2026年6月1日期间在线开展，最终回收有效作答样本46份。 本次数据采集依托由Deen Mohd开发的特质剖析测评平台完成。被试自愿参与本次测评，用于学习探索、自我探究与学术研究。所有记录在发布前均已完成匿名化处理，本数据集未包含任何可识别个人身份的信息。 本公开数据集包含被试级作答数据、测评得分以及依据马基雅维利主义量表（Mach IV Scale）计分规则生成的相关测量信息。研究人员可将本数据集用于心理测量学评估、信度分析、探索性与验证性因素分析、常模研究、得分分布分析以及方法学演示。 数据集特征 本次样本的得分区间为28至55，实测得分极差为27分。平均得分为51.15，中位数得分为54。样本内部变异程度中等，标准差为5.25。样本均值的95%置信区间估计为49.63至52.67。 本结果为通过特质剖析平台自愿参与测评的个体的得分分布提供了实证概览。本数据集不应被视为代表任何国家人口或临床人群的抽样结果，但可为对比研究与后续心理测量学研究提供有价值的参考依据。 数据集内容 本数据集包含匿名化的条目作答数据、计算得到的测评得分、完成日期以及由被试提交数据衍生的统计信息。本数据集以CSV（逗号分隔值）格式分发，可兼容R、Python、SPSS、JASP、Jamovi及Stata等各类统计软件环境，便于复用。
