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.

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

So I'm pretty bland.

11

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

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

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

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

Your Total: 27
Between 12 and 15 is average.
Celebrities often score closer to 18.
Narcissists score over 20.
Because you scored 18 or higher, you may want to check out the symptoms of narcissistic personality disorder.

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.

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.. 😳 😆 😳

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

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.
