well do you think you are?

it's designed to percieve how you see yourself not for the therapists to all take a shuffle and get the sexiest lady ;)

Narcissism describes the trait of excessive self-love, based on self-image or ego.

The term is derived from the Greek mythology of Narcissus. Narcissus was a handsome Greek youth who rejected the desperate advances of the nymph Echo. As punishment, he was doomed to fall in love with his own reflection in a pool of water. Unable to consummate his love, Narcissus pined away and changed into the flower that bears his name, the narcissus.

It's not only a sign of NPD but of many PDs - which are made up of "schemas" - thinking you're the bee's knees isn't the only pointer ;)
