Take the test :

I scored 14, what was your score?

25

I scored 26. Apparently if you score over 20 you're a narcissist.

There's questions in there that ask if you like your body and like to show it off. Yep, because I spent time in the gym and kitchen busting my ass for it, but that makes me a narcissist? So be it.

In that vain, anyone who spends time improving themselves and likes what they see is a narcissist.

36.

I have taken a few test and I had always been a high scorer.

It must be horrible not to be one.

32, thought it was a shite quiz.

Narcissistic Trait
Authority: 8.00
Self-Sufficiency: 5.00
Superiority: 4.00
Exhibitionism: 4.00
Exploitativeness: 4.00
Vanity: 3.00
Entitlement: 4.00

Between 12 and 15 is average.
Celebrities often score closer to 18.
Narcissists score over 20.
Because you scored 18 or higher, you may want to check out the symptoms of narcissistic personality disorder.

Yea I checked out the traits.

I don't agree with the not having empithy trait. I have bucket fulls of empithy but I decide to ignore it.

The entitlement trait is the killer, I expect everything to be given to me just because I am me, which is why I rarely put effort into anything. D'oh.

The quiz mistakes confidence for narcissism.

[Idlenations]

Answered as honest as i could and got 23 i'll take that to mean i'm balanced.

[thegmanifesto]

I scored 38.

I knew I would score higher than anyone else.

[Cincinnatus]

29.

[Kickb]

28

I got 33, but I could have answered the questions in a way that would have got a perfect score.

I guess no one caught my joke.

This test acts like it is unhealthy to have a high score. Only a handful of those questions can seriously be indicative of narcissism. Striving for success is a positive. Being able to read and influence people are both skills. Five years ago, I would have scored a 15. Five years from now, I'd probably get a 30-35. And I will consider it growth, not symptoms of a disorder.

27. If I weren't in a down-to-earth mood I'm sure it would have been a half-dozen points higher. Apparently being confident, self-assured, and just generally awesome is considered narcissistic?

I thought it was pretty poor myself. The quiz was set up in a way where any moderately confident person would be a narcissist. Even worse, all of the questions are set up in a black and white way, AND they are poorly worded.

Still, scored a 19, so I am not a narcissist.

Although, according to this quiz, once I get closer to my ideal physique, I will then become a narcissist.

31?

I don't thin I am a narcissist.

I have a lot of empathy, I am also a democrat, and a bit of a socialist.

I think the test does not take into account of confident people...

The survey in question seems to equate confidence = narcissism.
