Even his own description that they lack empathy matches the lack of empathy he clearly has for non-Zionists.
I get that he talks like a child and that can appear innocent and vulnerable, but that projection of innocence and vulnerability is exactly what he describes dark triads doing.
As a clinical psychologist (and a former university prof) he would be well aware of the fact that you can't discriminate against people in a professional setting on the basis of disability (it is classified as a mental disorder under DSM-5). Disabilities fall under the prohibited grounds of discrimination in Canada. Disabilities need to be accommodated and treated.
If he is currently practising as a psychologist and has clients that are trying to have their dark triad treated, if the clients felt like he was giving them bad or substandard direction, they could open a human rights case against him based on these things he says in interviews. For the sake of his own protection he probably just doesn't take on clients with dark triad. If his goal was to keep his license (it's currently under challenge) he's an idiot. But it's entirely possible that he wants his license revoked so that he can play the victim. As a spokesperson within an industry intended to attract clients with things like dark triad, he is potentially damaging that business by the things he says. It would be like a plumber calling people with leaky pipes "worthless parasites": the plumber is hurting his business by what he says (and he might by extension be giving the entire industry of plumbing a bad name). The same principle applies in Peterson's case.
Peterson demonizes groups for his own gain, and plays it off like he is vulnerable and in need of protection. When you look at what he does while realizing what he reasonably knows professionally, my impression is that asking him if he's dark triad isn't too far out there.

Does he have a conscience though?
