Dan is joined for part 2 by Dr. Del Paulhus, Professor Emeritus and personality researcher at the University of British Columbia.

Part 2 continues the exploration of dark personality traits, including sadism, psychopathy, and narcissism, examining their implications on behaviour, gender differences, and personal well-being. Dan and Dr. Paulhus discuss the methodologies used in research, the correlation of these traits with various psychological measures, and the ongoing debates within the field of personality psychology regarding the classification and understanding of these traits.
