The Narcissism Test

[KOMega]

Your Total: 9

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

Authority: 1.00
Self-Sufficiency: 2.00
Superiority: 1.00
Exhibitionism: 0.00
Exploitativeness: 1.00
Vanity: 2.00
Entitlement: 2.00

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)

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

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.

I never put much stock in these things, really, but sometimes they can be interesting.

That's pretty accurate, actually. But why is self-sufficiency a narcissistic trait? How is that a bad thing?

I found that a lot of the questions were not accurate because it is assuming things in a overly simplistic way.
For example, if you dont want to take responsibility you are not narcissistic?
I want to be noticed, take charge and be the leader. but if s@@t hits the fan I dont want to take responsibility for it.

Also, I am not in love with my body. not because I am shy but because I know I can do better etc...

It makes me sound like a horrible person. I know. lol

But why is self-sufficiency a narcissistic trait? I mean, yes, you rely on yourself, but why is that bad?

Yeah, some of them are weird, however I kind of assumed it's meant to be in a bad way? Like you think that you alone can do things, and do it right.

Idk. I guess there is a much more deeper meaning that but they overly simplified it for the sake of this quiz.

Quite a few questions were overly simplified and could've used a few more questions in that category.

 

[Edguy]

I scored 16. Pretty sure I'm a narcissist, although just in some ways.

But why is self-sufficiency a narcissistic trait? I mean, yes, you rely on yourself, but why is that bad?

I wouldn't say narcissism is an unanimously bad trait.

I got 8, with the following:

Authority: 2.00
Self-Sufficiency: 2.00
Superiority: 2.00
Exhibitionism: 0.00
Exploitativeness: 0.00
Vanity: 1.00
Entitlement: 1.00


When they explained what each trait stood for, it makes some sense to me. I am definitely not the kind of person that takes advantage of other people for my own progress, but I figured being self-sufficient would be higher. I guess when they ask the same damn question roughly 5 times, you just brush them off and go "whatever" rather than answering them honestly.

 

[sageoftruth]

I scored 5.

The questions seem pretty dumb though as not all of them are opposites. There were quite a few where either both were true or both were false for me so I just had to pick at random.

I agree. I couldn't finish this one. So many shallow and predictable questions I finally just stopped, knowing I wouldn't get an answer that meant anything from this test. It was so obvious which answers were pro/anti-narcissistic that any huge narcissist who wanted to believe he was humble could game the test into giving him the answer he wanted.
