Are you an introvert or just a covert narcissist? Test!

I answered as "honestly" as possible in that sense of what I KNOW I am predisposed to do, or have been predisposed to do, not that I would act that way in the given situation if I was conscious of what was going on. So basically, I was "hard" on myself and got

35: "You can be pretty self-centered, in other words, but the behavior isn’t out of control."

I figure if I'm going to get anything out of these tests it'll be a reminder of my tendencies. I've often thought that a person's nature is a kind of 'rough with the smooth' kind of thing; the negative aspects of character are also those that can be positive *in certain circumstances*. The goal then is "accentuate the positive, eliminate the negative"...

You’re probably not a covert narcissist.
According to your answers, you probably don’t spend all your free time fantasizing about your own awesomeness. Congrats.

Ive noticed a few of you have said you would have scored higher a few years ago, well i am probably at that "few years ago" point. Lots to work on...

I find this "middle" score and explanation of it interesting. It seems to suggest those who score higher do tend to "spend all your free time fantasizing about your own awesomeness". But I didn't see that implied in the questions asked or I answers I gave. :huh:

The questions did seem fairly black or white and I was tempted to pick neutral answers because some things seem to be situational.

I scored 26/50. I agree about neutral answers.

Oh, well, in this case, I am also without a doubt a proud member of the "self-centered" club. ;)

As other mentioned, in my case there were also a bunch of questions where I chose "neutral" because the way I would react would depend not only on circumstances, but sometimes even a particular period of the month. :-[ Kind of tricky, because in some cases the thought process didn't really go away completely, with time it just got easier to redirect it to something much more useful.

I think a lot of you know me pretty well by now, so how about taking the test and answering as you think I would and see what you get?

No problem :), but if we are all like one big " community" that is always willing to help and advise and help in learning, I think it would be fine to know the result of the pioneer of this forum :) :) :)

This is a nice reminder of the much more work that I need to do. Going through the questions reminded me of my shy nature that I must overcome to be a greater part of the world. Is the source of my shyness narcissism? I believe, to a degree, yes. For good or bad, remains to be seen in what I do.

But, I do not identify at all with the examples given: George Costanza, or Zooey Deschanel. Which is good. However, I do own up to the description: "It's somebody who's a little paranoid, who thinks they're not being treated fairly. They're a little suspicious..", considering the up-side down, in-side out world that we live in.

I almost never answered because these tests are half trick.

About the result, That is the response given by the test. The test says no need to add anything more.

Pretty much. You've got solid support, dude. I wouldn't worry on it much. ;D



16/50 on my end. I've had shrinks tell me I need to be selfish. Never did understand that.
