I got a six with half of that being in superiority. Eh, to be honest I kind of BS'd like half of it.

I'm sorry, but I didn't really see how that's correct, I see myself as average in pretty much everything. The quiz itself was too long and could be cut in half simply by removing all the doubles of questions. If those doubles were replaced with new ones, maybe, but still.

Woah, the Escapist record so far! Not a particularly good test though since it can't differentiate between someone who erroneously believes they are better than others and someone who actually is better, and it would be dead easy to get a low score by deliberately answering the "modest" answers. Quite seriously I don't believe I have the disorder despite scoring high enough since I get along well with most people, certainly not bad enough it's a disorder >.>

I may have issues.
Or not.
Probably not.
Because I am f*ckin awesome.



But so are YOU.
Yes YOU, the person reading this.
You made the deliberate choice to spend your leisure time on the internet not consuming porn or flinging insults at others like a crazy monkey flings his poo around, no, you made the decision to be a part of the escapist community and that makes you awesome.
And don't you forget that.
hahaha! Jokes on you, sucker; you don't know what I have up in my other tabs!

....and yet somehow I feel like the loser here.


OT: 13 Fine I guess. Test was a bit awkward, but I tried to be fairly honest.

Okay, I AM superior to most people. You can pretty well empirically prove that. I'm just extremely fortunate to be blessed in most regards. Nonetheless, I'm modest as hell about it in practice (except on The Escapist, where I turn my social filtering system almost entirely OFF).

Exploitativeness...the test asked me what I CAN do. I CAN manipulate most people with ease....but I don't. I'm super honest, and that pretty much means people are left to their own devices. Most of my manipulation the last 3 years has been focused on subtly directing my friend's attention to highlight certain facts about her life, herself, and the people around her, in the interests of crushing her self-doubt, building her confidence in her various talents, and making her realize that certain people are having hugely negative effects on her life.
She is MASSIVELY more confident and mature than she was a couple years ago, and she's finally let herself loose to do what she wants to do and not be insecure about what people might say about it.
Currently working on getting her to accept that she genuinely has some serious artistic ability (she thinks she sucks).
Then I only have the one last major hurdle - getting her to understand what literally EVERYONE ELSE aware of the situation knows.....that her boyfriend is a complete jackass and is terrible to her.


I'm all "Spider-Man" about what I -can- do. Great power, great responsibility. For example, I'm a very good liar, but unless there's a fairly serious need for it, I'm dead honest.
Today I told my other friend (who is like an alternate universe female version of me) that her tits were fucking awesome because she was feeling self-conscious about them. And, since she knows I'm just being honest, she cheered right up.

I find the credibility that comes with honesty to be a much more powerful tool than any web of lies.....but it also happens to make your powers of deception that much more powerful when you really need them (assuming you're any good at it).
.
.
.
I don't care if you're arrogant and just THINK you're amazing, or just confident because you genuinely ARE amazing.
In the end, I think what really matters is that you try and apply your powers/abilities/skills/talents/gifts/etc, real or imagined, to noble pursuits.
As long a you try and do good things for the world or the people around you....I don't care how amazing you think you are or aren't.

Sounds about right TBH. Don't care for showing myself off, or about my looks at all. I feel I am superior to the average person [And I am], but not extraordinary by any means - there are those that would make me look like a fool if I ever thought I was I'm sure - I like having some level of authority, largely due to other's incompetence when placed in Authority, however if a more competent leader is found I am more than happy to let them take charge. I prefer to, and am able to, fend and think for myself, rather than having others do everything for me. I feel I am entitled to some respect from others, and a good life overall, though nothing in particular really. I do exploit other people fairly often, though only in minor ways and often for the benefit of both; Use my knowledge of my friends to manipulate them into going out and having a good time rather than sitting in their rooms and complaining about life as an example.

Questions are stupid, but it got an accurate enough result for me.

So according to this I show no desire to lead others, am very self reliant, have quite the superiority complex, and on occasion manipulate others toward my own goals while expecting very little from life and others... Seems bout right.

Yeah, sounds about right.

With a few of the questions, I either agreed with both or didn't agree with either. The test needs more middle-ground.

Some of the questions bugged me. For instance, I don't think I am in any way 'much like everyone else' but at the same time it seem's dickish and untrue to call myself 'an extraordinary person' ..

I'm surprised really, because I always thought I was really narcissistic.

Also, Entitlement 0, screw you stereotypes about private school kids!

Yeah... That felt a bit simplistic. I know I think more highly of myself than that, haha.
