Authority: 7.00
Self-Sufficiency: 3.00
Superiority: 2.00
Exhibitionism: 0.00
Exploitativeness: 2.00
Vanity: 0.00
Entitlement: 3.00

I could have written that about myself - except for the MWUHAHHHAHAAAA! part. I do have SOME humility.

johnco 07-31-2015 05:01 PM

maybe if there were sometimes /seldom answers between the 2 either/or answers offered my score would have a bit closer to average. but then again, would I want to be average? yes, sometimes, seldom or no. took it 4 times with scores of 3, 1, 2 and 4. not sure if that's a good or bad thing

M.D. Holloway 07-31-2015 06:17 PM

scores below a 10 are very telling...

Own your spelling, chicken lips.

This is great.

We all suck in one way or another. Even Holloway. However, very hard to pinpoint.:D

6. I'm cool with that.

I would be really, really disappointed if your score is not the highest one here.

"I like to look at my body."

That one is my downfall. When I stand in front of a mirror looking approvingly at my naked body the manager comes in and tells me to stay out of his IKEA.

silverc4s 08-01-2015 05:32 AM

4. As expected at this point in my life. In my 70s, 25 years ago would have been a LOT higher...;)

motion 08-01-2015 05:47 AM

12... I thought I would be off the charts before starting. Take that, wife!

Seahawk 08-01-2015 08:10 AM

14. Again, I have a few miles on the odometer so the results from my youth would have been more along these lines:

"The average Navy pilot, despite the sometimes swaggering exterior, is very much capable of such feelings as love, affection, intimacy and caring. These feelings just don't involve anyone else."

Evans, Marv 08-01-2015 08:34 AM

28. I didn't think my score would be anywhere near that.

First off I think the test is a goof. The answers you choose could go one way or the other depending upon your mood that moment. On top of that there is plenty of ambiguity built into the choices.

But lets say that the taker answers 100% honestly without sharing their answers. They answer according to behavior and not a wished behavior that is evolving yet not realized yet. Then the numbers would suggest something. Having numbers really low suggests some serious insecurities that should be addressed. Having really high numbers means you have some serious insecurities that should be addressed.

I don't think folks answered honestly. I don't think anyone can. Have someone take the test for you and see what the score comes out. I did that with my Daughter and my score was 16. My Son got me a 25. A close friend scored me a 14. I retook it and tried to answer with a very broad brush, considering all factors and attempting to weigh an average and got an 18. Yesterday I took it and scored a 40. I had fun with it and answered according to impulses and not common practice.

Have someone close take the test as if they were you and see what the score is. The true narcissist would transcend personal v. social interpretation and be as obnoxious.

Wha... wha... WHAT!?! are you trying to tell me we can't define our innermost being by taking a 25 question quiz on the internet?

I am SO unfriending you on Facebook!!!!


I have taken the Myers Briggs test several times with different results.

As other have said any personality test is highly subjective... are you at work or at home? Did you just have a fight with your spouse or co-worker? Did you get laid last night? Are you hungry or just eat? etc.

Haha - not worried about this one! English isn't my first language and I still do better than 95% of my coworkers. Spelling has never slowed me down! How many languages are you fluent in?

Never think less of someone that speaks with an accent.

It means they speak at least two languages.

Is vanity the same as narcissism?

pavulon 08-02-2015 05:56 PM

30 seconds of googling would yield your answer.
