LOL.
Sometimes I dream about me being awesome and the best. It’s really satisfying when I’m in it, but when I stop, I feel bad about myself.
I also have a weird self esteem issue that I hate myself and at the same time, unconsciously think I’m better than everyone else!
I also do the Bill Murray golf thing.
I also cook like I have a captive audience. They are so amazed at how I add peas AND carrots to my rice before starting the rice cooker. And they applaud when I flip an egg without a spatula.
Slithy Tove, thank you for that amazing quote. New to me.
I, of course, don’t need to take this test because I am one of the most self-effacing people on the entire Internet. I would score a negative value and thereby break the model and then there would then be the gnashing of teeth in the outer darkness. Again.
I’m surprised the average is so high. I got a 1 on the quiz, but I don’t think it’s because I think more poorly of myself than most people. It’s just that the way most of the narcissistic options were set up, you have to be the nearly the best, which is rarely the case. Especially when the other option would give you a lot more wiggle room, not necessarily even contradicting the narcissistic option. And the rest seemed to be more about issues of introversion versus extroversion.
With the high number of insecure or just modest people and high number of introverts, I’d expect the average to be lower. The test is designed with a certain small subgroup in mind, where getting just over half puts you at the tail end of the bell curve. Yet the average score is closer to the narcissistic side than to 0. I’d expect the average to be around an 8.
Hey, I scored a 15. According to this totally valid diagnosis, I score high on authority and self-sufficiency, but have pretty much no superiority or entitlement. Probably should have scored higher on superiority as I am better than everyone else, but whoever made this test didn’t know what the hell he was doing.
