Pathological narcissism test
Narcissistic Personality Disorder Quiz | Psych Central
In our selfie-obsessed and self-posting culture, we’ve all likely heard the word narcissism thrown around. Oftentimes, it’s used to describe someone who seems overly vain or full of themselves.
But is that really what narcissism means?
More accurately, narcissism is one of 10 personality disorders. It’s defined as an inflated sense of self. If you’ve had moments of narcissism, don’t worry. You’re not alone.
Each person is narcissistic in some way. We all have moments — whether that’s believing you’re the best person for your job or the best looking person in the room. We can all recognize areas where we feel unique and special.
But if the need to feel special and important becomes excessive, you might be living with symptoms of narcissistic personality disorder.
Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) is one of 10 personality disorders.
Narcissistic traits can affect how a person thinks, feels, and behaves. In turn, this can affect day-to-day living and how someone functions at work and in their relationships.
People with narcissistic personality disorder often present with five or more specific symptoms, including:
- grandiosity and self-importance
- sense of specialness and uniqueness
- fantasies of perfection and superiority
- need for praise and attention
- strong sense of entitlement
- lack of empathy
- jealousy, envy, and distrust
- arrogance and scorn
- a pattern of manipulating others
Not everyone will have the same symptoms. The condition can present in different ways from person to person.
So, if you have any of these symptoms, does this mean you’re narcissistic?
Not necessarily. Just having or exhibiting these behaviors doesn’t mean that you have narcissistic personality disorder.
Our narcissistic personality test can help you find out if you might benefit from an evaluation by a mental health professional for narcissistic personality disorder.
But remember: This test is only a screening tool. Only a mental health professional can accurately diagnose the condition and recommend treatment options, if needed.
Instructions
Here you’ll find a list of 40 statements. For each statement, choose the one that best matches you (even if it’s not a perfect fit). Complete the quiz on your own and in one sitting, which takes most people about 5 to 10 minutes.
Answer all questions honestly for the most accurate result.
This online screening is not a diagnostic tool. Only a trained medical professional, like a doctor or mental health professional, can help you determine the next best steps for you.

"Number of points: 47
Narcissism - Norms 918 to 60 points normal, but still you are in the 50% of the most "non-narcissistic" people - in the "non-narcissistic" half of humanity
Grandiosity -27 points
Grandiosity is one of the main pillars of narcissism, along with demonstrativeness.
It is the main feature of open narcissism. Includes grandiose fantasies and a tendency to manipulate people, use them for their own purposes.
Grandiosity - normal: 21-40 points - your level of grandiosity is normal. You are moderately ambitious, moderately vain, you are not inclined to exploit people to such an extent that it causes tension in interpersonal relationships.
Narcissistic vulnerability and need for admiration - 20 points
Narcissistic vulnerability and need for admiration is the main feature of covert narcissism, when not grandiose fantasies come to the fore, but increased vulnerability and fragility of self-esteem.
The subtest includes questions related to the need for attention, secretiveness about one's shortcomings, depreciation of people, and intolerance towards disobedience to one's will.
Narcissistic vulnerability and need for admiration fall short of the norm: 0-25 points - your level of narcissistic vulnerability and need for admiration, submission, recognition - falls short of the norm.
You are not demonstrative, you do not care too much what others think of you, you accept the shortcomings of your partners and friends, and respect the independence of others. However, in doing so, you may lose feedback from your surroundings."
Damn. Healthy narcissism is also important. I need to learn to complain, cry and share feelings. This is what I'm learning here. Otherwise, she kept everything in herself according to the principle "men don't whine, I'm an impenetrable bulldozer." Moreover, I'm not a man and definitely not a bulldozer. You have to whine sometimes - otherwise a heart attack. Then my tinnitus will seem like heaven to me. Here I am, but still the third component does not reach the norm - the ability to share feelings and ask for help when it’s completely crappy. I still keep everything in myself and self-esteem is slightly below the norm. Eh! It's also a mess! I'm going to start whining more now. Get ready. ))) But I'm still glad that I don't have narcissistic psychopathology.
Thank God. NRL is definitely incurable crap.
I passed a good scientific psychological test for introspection of narcissistic personality disorder and I highly recommend it:0025
Because the questionnaire was originally based on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) criteria, a lot of research has been done into its factor structure. Robert Raskin and Howard Terry (1988) identified 7 factors of narcissism, such as lust for power, a sense of superiority, exhibitionism, taking things for granted, vanity, tendencies to exploit other people's resources, and self-confidence. The above criteria have been broadly compared with the DSM criteria for defining narcissism. Since that time, a number of studies have been carried out, the essence of which was to test the factor structure of NOL. The results of studies varied, for example, some studies indicated the presence of three factors, others - four. Moreover, there are often cases where NOL factors show a very low level of internal consistency, despite the fact that the measurement range as a whole shows an acceptable level of reliability.
Thus, it can be concluded that the factor structure of NOL is unknown. Recent studies have attempted to identify narcissism by just one criterion. Compared to NOL, this method has only one advantage: it does not combine narcissism and normal self-esteem or healthy self-esteem.
Research has shown that people who score high on NPT scores are more likely to cheat at games and cheat in romantic relationships. It also revealed the desire of such people for an unequal distribution of resources (more for themselves, less for others), the predominance of material values and an obsession with their appearance.
