Christie's model of Machiavellianism is generally precise within the parameters it uses but it leaves out certain factors included in this study. Using the Mach IV and Mach V scales subjects were classified according to their mach level and asked to play in a Parcheesi-type board game. Results showed that the effects of Machiavellianism in bargaining are stronger than those of equity, that the composition of the group affects the winnings of high- and low-machs, and that Machiavellianism as a whole is more predictive of game winnings than either of its two main components, tactics or cynicism. Over-all, the Christie model is still very suitable and the present findings can make it more general
