PsychCentral Narcissism Test

Post Reply New Topic

i got 13. it is a stupid quiz because each question is obvious as to whether it adds to the score or not. i guess almost all quizzes or tests are though

I ended up choosing the lesser of two wrongs on many. I'm a 12 btw for whatever that's worth. I also would of scored higher if I had taken this test when I was younger. But at the same time, I saw choices on there that I am positive are true because of my experience in life, I'm more confident in some areas. I have no problem admitting what's wrong with me either.

Not a particularly good quiz, yet probably a good indicator of how I feel about myself. Huh.

Your Total: 9

Between 12 and 15 is average.
Celebrities often score closer to 18.
Narcissists score over 20.

I scored 11.

Authority 2.00
Self-Sufficiency 3.00
Superiority 1.00
Exhibitionism 0.00
Exploitativeness 1.00
Vanity 0.00
Entitlement 4.00

I, too, answered affirmative to "I am an extrordinary person," but only scored 1.00 on Superiority. So, I scored just below average.

Some people tell me that I think I'm superior, but only because I don't talk much.

I scored 10

Authority: 1.00
Self-Sufficiency: 1.00
Superiority: 3.00
Exhibitionism: 0.00
Exploitativeness: 0.00
Vanity: 2.00
Entitlement: 3.00

Now what?

11.

Though I think I'm pretty narcissistic... I just don't like to be the center of attention if I don't know anyone there, so I scored lower than I normally would have, I think lol.

I scored 12.

Im not really sure what gave me the superiority score.. anyway it was only a 3, i dont think that is really high anyway.

I don't have high opinions of myself really.
Although I thought I would be higher than that because I can be quite selfish.

I don't think that's high, either. But you never know with these tests.

Right.

mine was too! did you answer yes to "I think I am a special person?" I did.

21. alot of the questions the anwser i would like to choose was neither. I can be self centered, but i dont care for attention and i dont care to manipulate people because i dont want anything from them.

I dont agree with the description of some of the traits though. Binding together leader skills with the wish to be a leader is very simple. One can have leader skills without wishing to use them. Also equating special (which the case of having asperger versus NT can be seen as) with superiority may be a wrong thing.

Isn't that why the "narcissism" range only starts above a certain point, when you're saying "yes" not to just a few of the statements, as most people would, but to a lot of them?

Statements like "I'm a good leader," or "I'm an extraordinary person," needn't come from a narcissist. Most people believe things like this, and are often right. It's when you believe a huge number of them that narcissism starts, because at that point you're believing yourself superior and starting to act on it in ways that often hurt others.

Remember: Personality disorder. That means extreme expression of normal personality, not something totally foreign to the average human. Most of us will have some narcissistic tendencies; only once they start to get unreasonable can you say it's a personality disorder.
