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?
Not very - I mean, I clearly *am* special, so it's only right that I appreciate that.
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.

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...
bikebouy - MemberErm.. 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:

First time I realised I was a communist anarchist apparently

Your Total: 21
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.
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 😆

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

bloody narcisists, all bragging about their scores 😉
I wonder how the demographics change the figures... these were college students, young bucks full of themselves that havent had it beaten out of them, 15 years ago I would have been waaay over 20 but now I'm a nice normal 13. Sh1t happens to all of us one way or another and dont worry pain and suffering will soon arrive to most.
