I bet if they did this test on them, the average would probably be 25.

My buddy who is one of the best salesmen I have ever seen would no doubt score 40/40

I was pretty high in 5 of the 7 traits but "vanity" and "exhibitionism". This dude is vain as can be.

Most influential people throughout history would probably score above a 30 on this. Does having confidence now = being a narcissist? If so, I'd rather be confident than the alternative.

I scored a 9. Not a narcissist.

Scored high on Authority, Exhibitionism, and Superiority.

Bragging about not being a narcissist is very narcissistic.

Informing someone that bragging about not being a narcissist is actually very narcissistic is in fact extremely narcissistic.

Confidence is not what this was measuring. One can be confident of their abilities and not be a narcissist.

Deflecting narcissistic accusations made by a narcissist is proof that your claim of not be a narcissist is really you being incredibly narcissistic.

Actually answered truthfully and scored a 19. Thought I might be higher. Some questions I could have went with either answr depending on my mood for the day.

Laughable for people who scored low (under 10) to then put what areas they scored highest in.

I have to question if people who tested under 5 if they aren't just ridiculously bullied around the office.

21. Doesn't surprise me.

Scored high on vanity, superiority, authority.

Middle in exhibition and self sufficiency.

Low in exploitiveness and entitlement.

Good test imo. Most interesting was average scores have been increasing steadily over the years.

It has nothing to do with an indication of lack of confidence and more to do with over confidence where it's not warranted, such as a salesman who scores above a 30 on that test.

I scored an 8 but am supremely confident in my skills in my field and my ability to make the correct choices for my family general. I am not, though, a know-it-all who thinks everyone should like me, wants to hear me blather on and wants my attention.

Just being a natural leader would give you at least a 20 on that test
