I got quite high on the dark spectrum there, but I don't do actions that I believe would harm others.
So I believe the whole premise is flawed as all criminals are going to skew the average and essentially give "dark traits" a bad rep.
I believe "dark traits" will make you more productive and able to reach goals more effectively, so if you have goals that are beneficial for society you would also be more effective in reaching said goals as well.
Take Bill Gates for instance. Historically it's easy to tell he has had some very dark traits, and also I think it seems obvious that he has learned to hide them better as he has aged, but look how much benefit for the world his work and everything has been doing.
So all in all, it's not dark traits, but dark goals.
I'd maintain that awareness, training, and tooling are essential for achieving constructive outcomes here. Without knowing that one has dark personality traits, and thereby a particular way of experiencing the world and pleasure/reward that is different from how most people experience it, it's hard to not unintentionally develop abusive behavioral patterns. Goals develop from a world view. Improve somebody's perspective and their goals adjust.
Knowing that one deals with a dark personality makes it easier to adjust one's interactions and expectations to them and not fall for possible abuse.
Every problem can be solved with enough understanding.
