Narcissistic Personality Test

About this app

Narcissism is a personality trait which involves a hunger for appreciation, a desire to be a center of attention, and an expectation of special treatment. Narcissism is not the same as Narcissistic Personality Disorder.

Everyone has some level of Narcissism. This app will gauge your level of narcissism and tell you whether you are below, at, or above average. This app uses the 16-item version of the Narcissistic Personality Inventory.

Narcissistic Personality Disorder is rare (~1% of the population) and occurs when narcissistic traits impair a person's daily functioning.

Disclaimer: This test is NOT a diagnostic test. A diagnosis can only be provided by a qualified healthcare professional. Please consult a physician if you are concerned about your risk of Narcissistic Personality Disorder.

Ratings and reviews

I missed a third option in the answers. The questions were for example. : I love to be the centre of attention or I rather blend in with the crowd,I missed an option for example, it depends on my mood if I want attention or not. this was with all the questions. so a to simple test imo

I was expecting a bit less obvious questions. A narcissist would be able to lie and answer the clearly non-narcissist answers. I guess it's only useful for the very few people who seriously want help.

It seems unrealistic to determine narcissism based on 16 questions. Questions are non ambiguous but seem way too easy. I suspect more people will have a higher count if the questions are less straightforward. Also seems too easy to manipulate the outcome. Maybe add some kind of honesty test to show dishonest answers in relation to others, and attempts to manipulate the outcome. We all have narcissistic tendencies but this test will make everyone seem like an angel ;)
