Thought the test was a bit whack, actually. Some of the questions, I could happily have ticked both boxes, not one or the other.
Too ambiguous IMO. Would have thought I would have been a lot higher on the self-sufficiency score.

i felt i could have picked both on a few of them too or somewhere in the middle.
I got a 12. It’s no surprise.
I am very humble, because it feels honest.
I take a very “Zen” approach to relationships, manners, behavior, etc.
I am not going to try to pretend that I am perfect because I know I am not, and I will not entertain notions of superiority because ultimatley I just don’t believe it’s true.

I don’t think this test really takes into account of the vast number of people who are simply awesome in every single way. I mean is it still Narcissistic if its actually true. [/jk … kinda]

I think a lot of the satisfaction in the high narcissism scores is coming from a youthful mentality. When narcissism is naturally high anyway.
But, if one ever comes across a true malignant narcissist in terms of a relationship whether that’s romantic, work, or other, you’ll rue the day you met one.
Age has a way of whittling away the narcissistic tendencies we have and humbling us somewhat.

“The greatest sin and profound joy of youth is believing, secretly, that you will live forever.”
Its what defines the young as the “young” and all people are entitled to it in their youth. To take away that joy and hope, however irrational is a crime.
Narcissism is an expected side effect of this belief, you believe that your special, that your young, that your life is just beginning, that you could do anything, that bad things dont happen to young people…
Your never going to be more brash and overly confident that when your in your teens and 20’s.
Its one part hormonal, its one part developing frontal cortex, its one part lack of disappointment and responsibility, and its one part cultural. Our society believes the youth have a right to live carefree for a time, until their lives of responsibility begin.
It’s a stupid test though. I know I’m a narcissist. It only gave me a 2 in vanity which is dead wrong!

True, very true. Some narcissistic traits are normal and part of the developmental stages. A newborn baby is extremely narcissistic.
However, if you start drifting into the following territory it’s a little more then youthful optimistic exuberance:
Individuals with narcissistic personality disorder have a grandiose sense of self-importance. They routinely overestimate their abilities and inflate their accomplishments, often appearing boastful and pretentious. People with narcissistic personality disorder may blithely assume that others attribute the same value to their efforts and may be surprised when the praise they expect and feel they deserve is not forthcoming. Often implicit in the inflated judgments of their own accomplishments is an underestimation (devaluation) of the contributions of others.
People with narcissistic personality disorder are often preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love. They may ruminate about “long overdue” admiration and privilege and compare themselves favorably with famous or privileged people.
Individuals with Narcissistic Personality Disorder believe that they are superior, special, or unique and expect others to recognize them as such. They may feel that they can only be understood by, and should only associate with, other people who are special or of high status and may attribute “unique,” “perfect,” or “gifted” qualities to those with whom they associate. Individuals with narcissistic personality disorder believe that their needs are special and beyond the ken of ordinary people. They are likely to insist on having only the “top” person (doctor, lawyer, hairdresser, instructor) or being affiliated with the “best” institutions, but may devalue the credentials of those who disappoint them.

Perhaps if everyone realized that having a narcissistic personality is actually a weakness, and not a strength, the higher the score, the bigger the asshole you are if you brag about it.
