I'm too anti-social to be a narcissistic, why would I want to associate myself with those below me?

Which, all joking aside, is a problem of the test. The test only asks questions if you see yourself above others, not if you see others below you. If you're modest about your skills and expect others to be at your level, you may not think highly of yourself but down on others.

I got a 34, which isn't very surprising since I also scored pretty high on the Hare PCL-R. More surprising was how those the individual scores broke down, with exhibitionism coming in rather higher than vanity. That's obviously untrue as I often find myself marveling at my own reflection, I literally can't even glimpse myself in the mirror without cracking a little smile, but I don't like to think that I make an exhibition of myself. Under normal circumstances I actually do my best not to draw attention to myself. It's too much of a commitment in that I feel pressure to be on when I absolutely do not want to have to be "on" when I don't feel like it, and besides, if these things are to be believed at all then it's probably best I fade into the background, otherwise my antisocial behavior would give me away. Showing my true colors wouldn't be the best way to get what I want, would it?

Silly checklists.

When your test is an either or, and the narcissistic options are obvious your score is rather meaningless. No one is going to be shocked by their results, ideally.

If the results were going to be reviewed for some reason, you would probably alter your choices based upon what you think you SHOULD answer in order to conform to societal norms.

Unless you are a narcissist, then you really don't give a fuck.

On that note I scored a 19. I didn't read down to get the break down, because I found the test to be pointless and in no way resembling an effective diagnostic tool.

Self diagnosis in itself is inherently flawed, but usually the "tests" provide enough of a distraction from what are usually very easily categorized response patterns.

Questions like "Why Pants?" thrown in to confound the subject, as well as questions repeated with different or contradictory wording being most often used.

(the correct answer is "because not shorts" btw)

A total of 11, with 3 in Superiority (true, I do have a fairly high opinion of myself), Exploitativeness (true, I have few scrupules when it comes to manipulating people, though I do it for their own good) and Entitlement (probably true), but a score of 0 in Exhibitionism (I dislike standing out and like to blend in) and Vanity (remnants of an inferiority complex).

Not a terrible test, better than most I've seen online.

Most questions appear at least twice, just worded differently. Also, a middle ground between the two possible answers would have been preferable.

I scored an 11.

Superiority: 0.00
Exhibitionism: 0.00
Exploitativeness: 2.00
Vanity: 0.00
Entitlement: 3.00

Honestly though I'm going to throw my ring into the hat with the other people who call this personality test flawed. You've got to be a complete idiot to not get what each question was hinting at. I still tried to answer honestly though. I think a little more moral ambiguity to the questions would have helped the test.

I got 16. So slightly above average. Sounds about right, though some of the question seemed a bit dumb to me.

Authority: 3.00 give me power!
Self-Sufficiency: 5.00 Don't worry I got this down.
Superiority: 2.00 Well I am better than most, but I don't like to brag.
Exhibitionism: 0.00 So I'm not likely to volunteer for nude painting any time soon?
Exploitativeness: 1.00 Good news, I'm not likely to bribe or extort you.
Vanity: 3.00 As someone who cannot walk pass a reflective surface without looking at my reflection, I'm surprised this isn't higher
Entitlement: 2.00 Well as a gamer, this is a given :p

Total 11 but ironically despite being self sufficient and having people not do anything for me I also exploit them and to be honest I know what this means as an introvert it means I intentionally come off as a massive asshole to people i find annoying which is a lot of people.

I insulted my annoying as hell roommate whenever he did something idiotic (Like play Justin Beiber and come into my room and Dance in his boxers, or sleep in the living room a few feet from the stove and ask me not to cook he was sleeping despite he could have just con to his own god damned bed in his own room) I eventually just gave a blank stare while holding a massive knife which terrified him to the point he just moved out.

See as I am under the average and my traits are kind of counter intuitive my narcissism is just nit suffering fools and fining lot of people fools not most people but 3 out of 10. I also enjoy when people who I know to be idiots to insult me, like if you think religion is part of your DNA that the entire light spectrum is visible to humans or it is not light and that Mars is red because we as humanity made it that way, please by all means I hope you say I am an idiot.

Overall: 7

As others have said, though, not the greatest test. Two of the questions asked me, respectively, whether I thought I was special and whether I thought I was extraordinary, and despite both of them essentially asking the same thing, that one-word difference caused me to say yes to the first but no to the second.

I thought I'd score higher.
Or at least in the average zone.
Well, at least I score some semblance of self-respect.
I think I was missing some in some earlier years.

I got 19...... So I am a relatively narcissistic person with the
character traits of a celebrity. I can live with that.

Really though, the fact that I have personality problems haven't exactly been something I haven't known for years already. (oh look self boosting and entitlement)

I scored a 4, all of which were in Superiority. Frankly, I didn't think it was a great test, many of the choices weren't opposites and I didn't agree with either. I'm a bit confused how I apparently consider myself fairly strongly better than others, despite an utter lack of self-esteem and getting a zero in all the other areas.

In my defense I am kind of a celebrity. Writer, artist, hundreds of beloved readers and watchers....and I want to be someone that the world won't forget, not really because I just want the world to remember how awesome I am but seriously, I don't want to leave this world and have my name forgotten in obscurity - I want to be somebody, I want to effect at least ONE person's life in a positive way.



And yes I'm entitled because with all the hatred spewing, disgusting, people who do nothing but put everyone down I'm demanding an increase on the value of my own life and the lives of others.
