Answering any of these six questions with the non-narcissistic option is disappointing. Would make me bypass you on a hiring application.

Actually, thinking you're a natural leader would whether it's accurate or not. Narcissism is about unwarranted admiration of self. Here's one of the criteria…


" has a grandiose sense of self-importance (e.g., exaggerates achievements and talents, expects to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements)"

I answered positively to most of those, but if the thought of ruling the world truly doesn't frighten a person, they are a short-sighted moron lacking in real insight.

SO I am guessing if you don't rush to post your score on the quiz you probably aren't one?

I answered if I ruled the world, it would be a better place, but there is another question on there is if you'd want that, and I answered no. Ruling it would frighten the hell out of me.

I wouldn't hire anybody that didn't realize that there were six.

There needs to be a third or fourth choice to those questions for it to really be accurate.

No doubt, it should make you nervous.

Frighten the hell out of you? Seriously? Worst case you give up the power and the world writes you off as Hitler.

The test is intended to choose between extremes.

Shows lack of confidence that some can't even commit to a consequence free test.

Does it really, though? I found a lot of the questions didn't have "extreme" options.

Don't get me wrong; I'm a sucker for Internet personality tests and could take them all day (and enjoyed this one) but that poster was right. If the goal was to paint a more accurate picture, several choices and repeat/rephrased questions would have worked better.
