perhaps I'm a narcissist.

Highest ratings was on Vanity, then Authority and Entitlement were tied. 

 

Though... I found that I could easily fudge with this test and make it what I want.  Even unconsciously. 

So I doubt whether this is a great self-report test.  Self-reports I'm generally skeptical of, especially this one since it seemed so blatant.

12 out of 40

I scored 13/40. I'm surprised its so low. I always considered myself a person who craves more attention than usual. And I do sometimes feel a sense of glee when exerting authority over other people.

I used to have a wingman who was a short, little Pakistani guy. But he came from some royal lineage family. He told me that because of that he had such massive entitlement that he believed every girl on the planet was his personal property.

Did he get laid a lot? Oh yeah.

But I honestly don't think this is a very good test.

@Leo Gura would you say that excessive self-hate is also a form of narcissism? or is that different?

I doubt a narcissist has self-hate. Look at people like Trump, Tate, Kanye. They are in love with their own bullshit.

People with deep shame, or self hate/ anger can express in ways that appear to be narcissistic 

[NoSelfSelf]

Narcissists are full of shame and insecurity,thats why they lash out to not see it and have to have a great sense of self, so they dont see the deep rooted trauma....they actually dont love themselves its a compensation...they are addicted to validation,compliments and attention to feed their ego so it appears they love themselves...there is a difference between personality disorter and someone actually loving themselves that looks like narcissism...

Difference is narcissist feeds of enviroment and is insecure full of shame vs someone feeding of himself and love for himself that comes from him that could look the same..

They may be insecure, but insecurity is not self-hate.

I very much doubt Trump hates himself. He is very thin-skinned though and needs approval.

@Leo Gura I dont know why would then someone who loves himself need to put someone down all the time,making themselves appear important? I always thought self hate comes from being insecure in who you are, which causes low self belief and low self belief causes negative self talk and view of yourself... then self hate... you must then get external validation to love yourself(pseudo love) because you cant self reflect(as a narc) mybe im wrong in all this...

I think I have any easy answer to that:

If your opinion of yourself is very high, you expect everyone else to validate that. So if you are totally in love with yourself, you might need others to reflect that and shower you with love. It's basically an entitlement to endless love from others. You never get enough. The more the better. It's like greed for money, but replace money with approval.

Of course there is a healthy way to be totally in love with yourself where you don't care about other's approval at all. That would be real Love.

I think the problem with narcissism is not the self-love, but that you need love at the cost of others. You need to be loved more than everyone else. You need to feel superior to everyone else. This is the toxic part.

There is definitely some twisted shit going on in the narcissist's psyche, but it's hard to pin point what it is. Because self-love is not a bad thing in itself. Somehow they are twisting it.

Here's some insight from a psychologist:

Quote

"More specifically, the results suggest that narcissism is better understood as a compensatory adaptation to overcome and cover up low self-worth.

Narcissists are insecure, and they cope with these insecurities by flexing.

This makes others like them less in the long run, thus further aggravating their insecurities, which then leads to a vicious cycle of flexing behaviors."

 

Quote

"Researchers looked at two different types of narcissism:

Grandiose narcissism: having an overinflated sense of one’s importance.

Vulnerable narcissism: this is linked to more anxiety and depression.

Their results suggested that vulnerable narcissists are genuine narcissists.

Meanwhile grandiose narcissists are better seen as a variety of psychopath."

 

Quote

“People who are willing to admit they are more narcissistic than others probably actually are more narcissistic.

People who are narcissists are almost proud of the fact. You can ask them directly because they don’t see narcissism as a negative quality — they believe they are superior to other people and are fine with saying that publicly.”
