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!

I do think if you are a very clever person with a lot of tested skills. Say a brain surgeon. Then you could score highly without being a narcissist.

I got 6
Feel like a bit of a sap now.

I scored 13. I’m big on self sufficiency too. And authority apparently.

I'm not a sap at all, I'm a bit, well at the more...bossy end of the spectrum. So, I don't know if I reported poorly or, as I suspect, I've been crow-barred into a bossy type otherwise nothing would get done around me.

I got 26!!!!! I think that's pretty average for a lawyer ...
low on vanity entitlement and self sufficiency, high in the others!

  1. But if I answer questions in my mothers name, its off the scale!
UserThenLotsOfNumbers · 06/05/2019 18:00

I scored 18 Confused
Mine were authority and superiority, others were low or 0.
Time for some self reflection I think!

Strongecoffeeismydrug · 06/05/2019 18:08

DM1209 · 06/05/2019 18:09

Did my mother and she got 35 😁😂

CuppaSarah · 06/05/2019 20:43

I got 6. With 4 on being a massive show off. Sounds about right, I do love to show off.

drangerstranger · 06/05/2019 20:54

Bloody hell I got 31! Saying that, surely for some people these statements actually are true rather than just being the result of narcissism?

That comment probably confirms that I'm a bit of a narcissist though lol

As someone who scored high I’m totally going with this reasoning!

Sourdoughpizza · 06/05/2019 21:06

I got 15. 3 for authority and entitlement. Interesting as I have been thinking about entitlement lately and perhaps need to work on this trait.

BertieBotts · 07/05/2019 15:32

I got 2 for superiority and 0 for everything else. That probably means I have fuck all self confidence and self esteem Blush

One of the narcissist websites essentially says narcissists are stuck at a mental age of 6 so the nephew fits :o
