Sometimes I pretend everyone else is incompetent and unskilled

That is hilarious.

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 got 5 on that test.

I didn’t take the test, I’m too important to be bothered.

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.

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

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.

Damn straight. :wink:

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.

  1. But I thought about posting this in very small type.

4, only got points for superiority and entitlement.

I scored a 6. I tested as my MIL and she scored a 31 and that was giving her the benefit of the doubt on a few. Not surprising if you ever met her.

I scored 3 and I don’t care.

I scored 18. Most of the questions were borderline though, so it’s probably not as bad as it seems.

Scored a 2. I noticed some of those questions kept repeating in slightly altered forms.

10, but 8 to 10 years ago I would have scored about 15.

Everyone sharing their low scores on that test is a narcissist by showing off and ignoring the request of the OP to answer his question.

Also, I got a 9.

I got halfway through and thought, why bother? I already know the result…:0)

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.

Got a 1.

Are you driving at the time?
