Do you too complain about your height and wish could be taller? Study says this about you

According to a new study published in the journal, Personality and Individual Differences, short people who are dissatisfied with their height are more likely to be psychopaths.

For the research, the team evaluated 367 relatively short adults from the US using Amazon’s Mechanical Turk. They were assessed based on standard dark triad traits, to evaluate levels of psychopathy, narcissism and Machiavellianism.

It was found that shorter people who wished to be taller showed signs of these three traits. People who wish they were taller are more characterized by traits that are likely to make them show-off, be confrontational and interested in power, the lead author of the study concluded.

Also watch: Research says women can spot narcissists and psychopaths even when drunk
