Narcissistic Personality Test

Narcissism is a personality trait which involves a hunger for appreciation, a desire to be a center of attention, and an expectation of special treatment. Narcissism is not the same as Narcissistic Personality Disorder.

Everyone has some level of Narcissism. This app will gauge your level of narcissism and tell you whether you are below, at, or above average. This app uses the 16-item version of the Narcissistic Personality Inventory.

Narcissistic Personality Disorder is rare (~1% of the population) and occurs when narcissistic traits impair a persons daily functioning.

Disclaimer: This test is NOT a diagnostic test. A diagnosis can only be provided by a qualified healthcare professional. Please consult a physician if you are concerned about your risk of Narcissistic Personality Disorder.
