		<description><![CDATA[A study indicates that women dig narcissistic, psychopathic and Machiavellian bad boys. The personality traits that compose the Dark Triad have typically been considered abnormal, pathological and inherently maladaptive (e.g. Kowalski, 2001). Although individuals with these traits inflict costs to others and themselves, the Dark Triad traits are also associated with some qualities, including a drive for power [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A previous Cognizance post examined how will-power is an exhaustible resource. It turns out skepticism is too, if you&#8217;re gullible to begin with. In this study, students answered interview questions and were categorized into two groups based on the results: gullible and skeptical.

It was written to demonstrate a simple point –intelligent behavior does not equal intelligence. This doesn’t mean A.I. design is impossible. It just means a behavioral-based model for intelligence is flawed.]]></description>
