[Closed] How narcissistic are you?

If it doesn't mention my name in the article there's no way I'm bothering to read it.

10 - but 7 of that comes from the "Authority" trait.

10

Your Total: 7
Between 12 and 15 is average.
Celebrities often score closer to 18.
Narcissists score over 20.

So I'm pretty bland.

14, which means I'm bang average. Obviously I'm the absolutely most average though, much more average than anyone else.

26.

I'm winning...

Just as I expected.

11

I struggle with tests like that though - it's so clear which is the 'right' answer, I find it difficult being 100% neutral.

Ha, ha!

Just walk all over me, why don't ya

12.........just plain old normal.

I'm a whole 4.

a true psychopath will pick the right answers, not the honest answers. as a result i got 7 in an effort to appear more normal 😈

i don't need to do some poxy test for you lot to know how awesomez I am.

I wanted the word narcissist tattooed across my belly in the style of a Peurto Rican gang member..

8 & most of that was from the Self-Sufficiency
bit. Which is about right.

Are you asking that question specifically to me?

17 - Close to the score of your average celebrity apparently. 8)

21, I look beautiful and you better bloody believe it

22

Not really, 11 - below average, as usual

I couldn't answer half the questions so stopped as it was clearly miswritten, and the questions weren't pertinent to me.

25

Scored very high in Self Sufficiency, Superiority & Entitlement
Low on Authority, Exhibitionism, Exploitiveness & Vanity

I am my own man... but then I already knew that.

Don't worry jota180, while everyone walks over you, you can walk over me. I scored 1. 😯

i got 12 questions in before thinking "i've had enough of this..."

What does that tell us ?

9. Very high on self-sufficiency.

2 for me but I do understand my self-loathing.

I gave up as I can't answer things like this...

12. I like to have authority over other people. I don't mind following orders.

I got 13.

11, below normal apparently

19, let down by a low score on the vanity section.

32

I am a narcissitic attention whore - but you knew thyat anyway.

Because you scored 18 or higher, you may want to check out the symptoms of narcissistic personality disorder.

i got 12 questions in before thinking "i've had enough of this..."

What does that tell us ?

ADHD?

30! wtf

When I hit the show results button I crashed the internet.

Behold my awesomeness!

12 - normal, but only just.

Mostly I was looking for the third answer - my own answer, not their inadequately formulated pi** poor choice of stock answer.

30! wtf

Are you that gum-chewing potty mouth off of the sweary northerners video?

22

Erm.. 24, but you lot knew I'd hit high on this didn't you..

So I got routed to another page because I scored over 18, which reads:

"Symptoms of Narcissistic Personality Disorder
In order for a person to be diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) they must meet five or more of the following symptoms:

•Has a grandiose sense of self-importance (e.g., exaggerates achievements and talents, expects to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements)
•Is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love
•Believes that he or she is "special" and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people (or institutions)
•Requires excessive admiration
•Has a very strong sense of entitlement, e.g., unreasonable expectations of especially favorable treatment or automatic compliance with his or her expectations
•Is exploitative of others, e.g., takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends
•Lacks empathy, e.g., is unwilling to recognize or identify with the feelings and needs of others
•Is often envious of others or believes that others are envious of him or her
•Regularly shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes"

At least some of those I read as true.. 😳 😆 😳

Just done it again with MrsWCA moderating my answers

Wow, check out the peak in mid-late 80s. There really was an increase in self confidence and arrogance!

Believes that he or she is "special" and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people

Oops!

I couildn't be arsed to finish it...40 questions ffs!

Mr Grips..

That chart..^^^^

Prolly explains a lot... I was educated in the States during the late 80's/early 90's..

Hhahahahahaha 😳

There was the survey that showed American students to be massively more confident in their own abilities compared to other nationalities, but only middling in actual achievements.

I think as molgrips says probably the most interesting thing is the chart particularly the peak in about the 87 and then a drop. In some of the cases the confidence level did reach that peak again until 95.

This does seem to mirror the mid 80's as being a very confident time for america and the outlook that people should be successful and confident ie yuppy/wall street etc etc.

The drop from 88-92 ish seems to mirror the grunge / alternative outlook where being different/depressed was seen as cooler.

Im not too sure on the economics of the 80's but it doesnt seem to mirror GDP in anyway.

In america the only slow down seemed to be between 1990 and 1991. So seems like the chart mirror attitude rather than economics.

28.. I expected higher hehe

6 and didn't think I hated myself that much

answers seemed a bit binary

5.

I think I need a hug.

Its a shit test what with bi polar so common these days I know people who could get 4 one day & 34 the next.

I got 4 today, will try again tomorrow.

Er, 1....

What with my mum being called Mary, my dad Joseph and me being born on the epithany (all true) what else could I expect but to be riddled with self belief.

The drive to succeed slides as the other measures increase - "I don't need to work hard to succeed, I'm already great" or "success is easy these days you just need to believe in yourself"

1 for me as well. Doesn't mean anything though - Narcissists usually cock up as they don't think things through.

13.
High on self-sufficiency which I expected
Also high on exploitativeness but low on entitlement. I think that this means I like to manipulate people for no reason.

7, the same as Hora.

I'm afraid, very, very afraid 😯

mmmmm Scored 23
But was modest on the strength due to the type of questions and worded option
between the two question options

Narcissistic Trait Strength of Trait
Authority: 4.00
Self-Sufficiency: 3.00
Superiority: 2.00
Exhibitionism: 4.00
Exploitativeness: 3.00
Vanity: 3.00
Entitlement: 4.00

I struggle with long sentences, I'm too special to spend time on this.

How narcissistic are you?

er....1!

<Gets coat, sidles out>

An average of 12-15? Blimey.

10

7, but then it is pretty obvious which answers to give if you don't want to look a knob.

It's also a weird test as not many people are one or the other of each question. It's more what you prefer to do rather than what you actually do.

[b]5[/b]

Another 1 here. Not at all bothered what that's supposed to say about me. Which just supports the '1' result I guess 😀

If bein higher up the scale means you're more pushy/arrogant/selfish/cocky (which it seems to) then I'm even happier with my 1.

4 being honest, 40 if you pick the right answers deliberately.
The test is too black and white.

13, an average narcissist.

Well, I was trying to be as honest as I could, but some questions weren't really appropriate, neither answer seemed to quite fit.
I got 2.
I've always wondered why my coats always seem to get mucky footprints down the back...

Erm.. 24, but you lot knew I'd hit high on this didn't you..

The very fact you think we'd know is quite telling 😉

23 tragically. I was a little upset by this mainly because it was answered with a knowing honesty.

4 - i'll just go and creep back under my duvet.

Not for the first time I've been called a pompous arse on here.. 😆 😳

How about trying this test to see where you lie:

It's ok as it's only my Internet persona. I'd have scored full marks in real life.

I got 1 which is strange as I always thought I was rather a self-absorbed twunt.

Wifey scored highly on the 'Exploitative' score. No surprise there 😆

13 ,almost normal

I scored 11 being mediocre is where it's at.
