We've had are you a Psychopath, I scored a 2!

However that got me started on other quizzes (my 5 year old is awake and unwell) so naturally I checked my narcissistic tendencies and while I take these quizzes with a pinch of salt I know they're based on some form of textbook psychology..... I scored 12 - 6 points alone on Authority.... control freak that I am!

Happy Bank Holiday people Grin

I got three points for self sufficiency and zero on all the others. That's about right.

@floraloctopus, I'm a huge fan of self sufficiency! It never lets you down.

I scored 8. Unsurprisingly around half of it on leadership related questions. Which is literally what I do for a living, so I suppose I'd be kind of crap at my job if I didn't have any of that at all.

I'm also a 0 on vanity, apparently. That would explain the fact that I can't be arsed to wash and blow-dry my hair when I can get away with another day of dry-shampooing. Grin

I don't know why anybody else would bother looking at the link as I so obviously have the best score ever! It's the biggliest one and shows I can score higher than the rest of the world, so high, SO HIGH! MAGA? Ha! KMGA, I say. (Keep Me Great Always - godssake! Don't you get acoro... ackro...acron... Hell, those thing where the inish.... init...
starting words make another one. Word, I mean.)*

It reminded me of one of those quizzes in Jackie (when I was young) or Cosmopolitan (when I was older).
You know:
Your boyfriend said he would take you to see Duran Duran then cancels because his mother wants him to re-grout the bathroom.
Do you:
a) Appreciate the fact that he's such a good son and go round to their house on the day you should have seen DD to hold his Squeegee.
b) Break up with him, go to see DD alone and make vigorous attempts to sleep with all of them. Then turn up on his doorstep and threaten to self-immolate.
c) Explain in a reasoned fashion that you can only see DD on that one day, but he can do the re-grouting any time (as long as it fits in with his insane mama's** timetable) and, if he would accept this, you will go along with him on that occasion and, not only would you hold his Squeegee, you'd clean and dry it afterwards.

*Oops. Got the DTs again.

**Don't actually say "insane mama". Even though she obviously is as one day (if you play your cards right and do enough of these quizzes) she'll be a Mil and they're all bonkers as conkers.

Now , what could the right answer be?

I got 8, highest was on vanity. The questions were a bit all or nothing on that test though, although I suppose they have to be.

moanyhole · 06/05/2019 08:27
  1. Higher on authority. my dh would agree on that one methinks

I got 27. I don't consider myself to be narcissistic at all although I am confident in my abilities which I consider to be something different.

lazylinguist · 06/05/2019 15:57

sanityisamyth · 06/05/2019 16:00

KondoKonvert · 06/05/2019 16:02

I scored 12. Quite happy with that!

Ylvamoon · 06/05/2019 16:05

I scored 11 ... probably an all rounder!! Grin

VidPid · 06/05/2019 16:07

I got 3.

fancynancyclancy · 06/05/2019 16:15

I got 23 (eek). Scored high in self sufficiency, entitlement & authority, very low in vanity.
Whoops I thought I was just confident, fun & independent. However it doesn’t matter as I know there is nothing wrong with me. I’m a narcissist aren’t I 🤦🏼‍♀️

woodcutbirds · 06/05/2019 16:15

I scored 5. So no.

DianaPrincessOfThemyscira · 06/05/2019 16:22

I got 10 with a 5 for Authority. That seems about right to me.

DrCristinaYang · 06/05/2019 16:36

Scored 1 for explotiveness, zero for everything else

RhubarbIsEvil · 06/05/2019 16:46
