Eren is a Dark Triad Personality type. In personality psychology, the Dark Triad is a set of 3 trait types: Narcissism, Psychopathy and Machiavellianism. Here's a short thread on how Eren belongs to this category
1. The hallmarks of the Narcissism trait type are pride, self-orientation, egotism, grandiosity and a lack of empathy (Raskin & Hall, 1979).
Eren isn't high on this dimension. He has an egalitarian view on humanity & freedom & understands all humans are the same, doesn't see himself as better. Tho, he reduces them when they act inhuman & thinks he's entitled to end hate in a hypocritical way.
He's proud to be born into this world, tho again, he knows he's not superior but rather that he is as rotten as the monsters he's tryna squash along with innocents. Also he doesn't see himself as grandiose either, his assault on Marley's meant to be a threat not something flashy
2. Psychopathy is characterized anti-social behavior, impulsivity, selfishness, callousness, remorselessness and lack of empathy (Hare, 1983).
Anti-social isn't introverted, it's the opposite of pro-social, it's actions that are detrimental to society

Eren would score fairly high on this dimension, esp pre-ts. Eren was fairly impulsive, violent and selfish though he did show emotion. However he's always had a proclivity for anti-social behaviors here: a violent, fanatic, aggressive person https://twitter.com/Erenscollarbone/status/1321586886486433794?s=19
3. Machiavellianism is distinguished by the manipulation/exploitation of others, an absence of/ruthless type of morality, high levels of self-interest and unemotional callousness (Christie & Geis, 1970).
Eren scores pretty high on this dimension. We can def say his personality post-ts is predominantly Machiavellian since we don't see the impulsivity he exhibited b4 nor the more petty selfishness. No, Eren's calculating, manipulated ppl, and his self-interest is much grander
than in his childhood where he was just interested in being violent towards titan for revenge. His self-interest now is far from short-sighted, and all these above-mentioned traits are easily validated by his actions towards every last person in the aot verse
