I suspect that many of us are. Anybody care to try the test at http://psychcentral.com/cgi-bin/narcissisticquiz.cgi and report their results. I scored 12.

If you always do what you always did, you'll always get what you always got!
ha, same here.
Ha Ha! I scored 12 too...Frankly I think I should probably score more (that's a bad thing...) but it's only a short test...
However - I have said before I think there is a touch of narcissism about what some of us do... photos and a lot of references to mirrors seem to confirm that for me. That said, I don't think it's something we should be beating ourselves up for - there are far worse traits out there than the propensity for a bit of a preening and self-admiration - and plenty of folk who'll queue up to metaphorically beat us up for a lot of other things we do...
Anyway - we couldn't look our best if we didn't spend so much time being self-analytical... could we?

Hi Amanda,
Narcissists . . . whoa boy . . . I work with a whole slew of them. BTW score 15 on the test so perhaps my leanings are a bit in that direction.
However the interesting take on this would be is the person a narcissist "en boy", "en femme" or both. I suspect both so .... the narcissistic CDer would have to be someone who when dressed sees herself as superior to other CDers even though she suffers from a huge lack of self esteem. Interesting question nonetheless though.

Amanda, I'm telling the whole truth 12. ! I think if they were on a sliding scale my score would have been higher ! I am still surprised being self employed for thirty years as a photographer, taking control of a situation you have to have some tricks up your sleeve and believe in what you're doing !
I don't bother with such tests even out of curiosity. I know who I am and don't particularly care about seeing what someone else thinks I am.
Second star to the right and straight on till morning
I know I'm a narcissist. Don't need to take the test!

Yeah, I think I may be one too, at least enfemm.
I scored a five. Didn't think the test would go that low.
No, no way. I scored an 8. I am an introvert with a low self-esteem.
I understand that you have to score over 18 to be a narcissist.
Being a narcissist is more than our vanity It includes how you view yourself as a leader, your social confidence, being a show-off, and exploiting others.
7 here. I scored on authority and manipulativeness.
I think the score on manipulativeness is too low and should be higher, btw.

My 2 cents: A true narcissist cares too much about what people think about them, and wouldn't want to be seen as (or admit to being) manipulative, attention seeking, etc. Hence they would probably score low on that test, either on purpose or more likely due to sub-conscious affecting the answers they pick. Also, true narcissists don't even realize they are one, so again wouldn't pick things like "I am a born leader", even though at some deeper unconscious level they may think they are.
11...lol...zeros on self sufficiency and entitlement...II really am a mess...tee hee.
The trouble with tests like these is that if you have even a little smarts it is too easy to read through what they are asking, and manipulte the results. Fun though...:-)
Absolutely! Why would someone think otherwise?

oh dear, i scored a 21??!
13 for me, right in the middle.
I scored a 15. I think questions like these are odd though. If you know you are taking a test for something, aren't you going to read into the questions and on some level pick your answers accordingly?
Narcissistic?
I can't even spell the word.

I scored a 16, hmmmm! I do think that we tend to be a bit narcistic as we are trying to look like our vision of a GG.

29. I LOVE ME!. A lot of what they ask is more self confidence. I am in a profession where just being good isn't good enough. That holding back and being tentative can result in loss of life. I don't see that as narcissistic. I am a narcissist though, I have to be otherwise I might as well just stay home and wilt. Life is for living and you have to make it what you want.

Answered as a 54 year old female. 8 was my score. Final analysis was all traits scored as 1 except Exhibitionism was a 2.
I am a show off and I like attention at times but I vary between outgoing and introvert, so I think it was pretty accurate.

I scored a 9, High marks for self sufficiency, and vanity.
Guess I need to get some more tools, and mirrors. I have had my eye on
a new belt sander for a while now, oh, and a full length mirror would be wonderful!
Much Love,

I smile because you are my friend, and
I laugh because there is nothing you can do about it!!!
I am so average I scored a 12. I read an article a while ago in "Psychology Today" about narcissistic behavior and realized I wasn't one then, but had thought I might be. So actually all I really know is that I'm confused. Hugs Jaymee
I enjoy being a boy, being a GIRL like me!!!
I don't need a test to tell me I'm a narcissist... I can also tell ya why to... My ugly side has/had absolutely NO self esteem, and I was bullied all though school.
But, when I would come out for events like Halloween, things changed.People responded to me differently. I got compliments, people wanted to interact with me. Then when I finally got the courage to "come out", more of the same. I feel like I go from zero to hero, just by being my real self.
I don't know, maybe people respond better to Wynonna over "ugly" because I feel more confident, and comfortable with who I am.
