This paper investigates Machiavellianism between accountants, auditors, medics and engineers. This studyuses a questionnaire to measure Machiavellianism. We apply T-test and ANOVA to comparative study among the aforementioned professions, and multivariate regression is applied to test factors effecting on Machiavellianism in accounting profession. The findings show that the level of Machiavellianism is different between engineering, medicine and accounting professions. Engineering profession has mostMachiavellianism, then the accounting profession and in last the medical profession. The results also show that factors which affect accounting profession's Machiavellianism are gender, experience and employment in private sector. Thus, these findings theoretically approve that medicine profession respects ethic more than other professions.
