Abstract
This study examined the factor structure of measures that have been developed using the triarchic model of psychopathy, which proposes three distinct trait domains underlying psychopathy: boldness, meanness, and disinhibition. Three-factor solutions show uniformly poor fit and do not correspond well to a priori factors.
