How self-focused are you, really? We all have a sense of self-importance to some degree, but where you fall on the narcissism scale might surprise you. Do you shy away from attention, confidently own your strengths, or quietly expect recognition when you deserve it?
This quiz explores traits like confidence, validation-seeking, empathy, and your relationship with praise and criticism. It’s not a clinical diagnosis, but it can offer insight into how you see yourself and how you relate to others.
Answer honestly, go with your first instinct, and see where you land on the narcissism spectrum.

There is only one question where my answer would mark heavily towards narcissism and that's the one about being irritated when someone interrupts my story. The thing is, though, that my irritation has nothing to do with narcissism, it's a reaction to rudeness. I get equally irritated when people interrupt other people. Isn't the narcissist in that situation the one who believes that they deserve to be heard more than the person speaking so just talk over them?
Natalia 5 days ago
I'm the same but I don't think it has anything to do with narcissism, it's more about disliking rudeness

"Quietly Confident You walk the fine line between modesty and self-belief. Praise doesn’t make you blush or boast. You simply nod and keep moving. Your confidence whispers rather than shouts, earning you respect without fanfare. You know your worth, but don’t need neon arrows pointing at it."

Why do so many of my comments wind up looking as if I'd responded to one particular Panda or another? I know that I need to use the comment option at the top of the comment section if I'm not actually responding to one particular person, and yet over and over again I see that my comments show up as a response to another person's comment.

"Attention-Oriented Achiever. You won’t chase every beam of attention, but when one shines your way, you’re ready. Goals motivate you, and recognition is a welcome bonus, but never the sole reason (but definitely the cherry on top). You strategize, polish, and present with flair, inspiring others through action. Just remember to pause for air, as even achievers need a breather." Yeah, that sounds like me, more or less. I used to want recognition but now I'm like whatever, don't care. Attention and praise is worthless anyway; just leave me alone.

I think the results were fairly accurate for me, despite some questions that didn't seem helpful. Where I would position myself in a group photo is largely a function of relative height, rather than emotional gratification. Also, the cartoon choices were too recent for me. I needed Rocky and Bullwinkle to be an option.

These answers were pretty obvious, but it could be the nature of the narcissistic beast, I guess? I'm so glad I don't know any people that would answer the opposite of me enough to be considered a narcissist (I also got 'deeply humble and grounded').

Oh dear. I got Highly Self-Focused, but it's only because I crave approval and think rules don't apply to me (or at least they shouldn't)! But you know me well enough now and clearly I'm not narcissistic :)

I got balanced and self-assured. Some of the questions are lacking the option to not do anything or go anywhere. I refused to go to a class reunion, or really care that much about other's accomplishments. (I don't expect people to care about mine, either.)

What is a narcissist anyway? I've never fully understood. Anyway, apparently I'm a "Full Spotlight Personality", but a lot of the questions felt too far removed from reality for me, so I'm not sure how valid the assessment was. Hah! I went back and did it again, choosing quite different answers for the more ambiguous ones. Same result!

I would say the classic narcissistic person is basically like my mother, where every single thing in the world revolves around her. She is the only person who "really" exists and the only person who is "actually" important. If you have something to tell her, she doesn't care unless it reflects upon her in some way (e.g., "I passed my class!" - "Because I told you to study!") She will find a way to twist every conversation to be about herself/her interests. She does not remember details about people/their lives (she cannot remember the name or gender of my 9-year-old cat... I live next door to her, she sees my cat every day.) She lacks empathy and sympathy for others, but is mad when others don't give it to her. She is arrogant and envious, will use anyone and everyone, and has a need for praise/admiration.

the one question i thought was worded poorly was the group-photo question about where you would stand. a "group" photo is anywhere from 3-4 people to literally an infinite number. so, where'd i'd stand would depend on how many people there actually were. and even if there were only a few people, if they're all, say, over 6 feet tall, then yeah, i'm standing front center cuz i actually wanna be SEEN in the d**n photo.

I read most people have a degree of narcissism in them which is reflected in how we take care of ourself. But some have a degree that veers into a personality disorder. Usually when we someone calling someone else as a narcissist, they mean NPD. I see people be very flippant labeling people as such all the time. after having therapy to deal with my mom’s bs, it was determined my mom likely has NPD. Interestingly enough, during therapy, she explained the extreme ones have other personality disorders too. It’s kind of fascinating.

NPD is a complex personality disorder that requires a professional evaluation, not a pop quiz. These tests merely spread BS and misinformation.
