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

[Alada]

20/50
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.

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.

Yeah, its not very satisfactory. As others have said its all very black and white. With some of the questions I thought 'yes, I can be that way sometimes, but not always, it depends what's going on. The above "spend all your free time fantasizing" it doesn't fit even if I were to up the score, or so it seems. But that could be because it would already be a blind spot, colouring thinking in ways that I don't notice.

A program can be there for a long while, as in "I tend to do/think X", but once a pattern begins to be revealed and worked on then "spend all your free time" doesn't fit though I think. Or does it?! I guess an answer for now would be to make sure we don't create too much "free time"!

The take home for me I think (as I would have scored pretty high - or so I think) is to apply "spend all your free time fantasizing about your own awesomeness" to the past and think about what that brought with it. Get a handle on just how much that altered life experiences. Heal the past.

I suppose that, by definition, this test actually is a test of the potential difference between what we like to think of ourselves and how we actually are. I wonder how other people who actually know us, those without significant favoritism towards us, would score us.

Also, I have noticed that results of older members shows that their are more narcissistic then others what could be indication that their are more sincere or more conscious in which state their are.

After thinking more about this i realized that i had answered as if i was looking at myself several years ago.

It's fun, I feel that many of us take for fully credible, and put a lot of importance in this test. It's more like a game. Also it depends on how we understand the issues. I think it would be interesting to ask a question that seems essential to me: "If you are the victim of adultery, would you be jealous / envious? Answer: rarely, neutral, never." For me, being "victim of adultery" reveals much our narcissistic behavior. For often in the relationship of the couple, it is our pleasure and our happiness is about. To please our husbands and our wives, we maintain the joy of OUR couple. That is our individual happiness. Because it is rare that a person wants to enjoy her ex. Tell me how envious / jealous you are, and I'll tell you what / how you're narcissistic. As for me most of us are narcissistic, I consider myself narcissistic. Knowledge is to be on the right path. But to believe the test tells you that "you are probably not narcissistic" is perhaps demonstrate narcissism.

Disagree. The importance of "things" depend from different point of view, situation that you are in or just state. My results maybe showed that I'm not sincere to my self or maybe that is the truth. But when I was answering on those question I could't notice that I'm answering how I would like to be the truth. And it was little bit of slap on my face when I felt inside how my stomach is trembling when I realize that I'm still not "good" as much I want to be.

I was surprised with such a high score, I always thought of myself as innocent introvert, which is understandable - we always lie to our self.
But I was also very surprised you, or Odyssey as example of people I know ( at least a bit) got equally high score. In other words I would score both of you much less, and I have no reason for "significant favoritism" towards you, OSIT.

24/50. Probably not, but at the higher end of that. I noticed that I was quite immoderate in my answers though, with few neutrals. I wonder if that's indicative of a more neurotic type of emotional pattern rather than a narcissistic?

Me too! I got 25/50 and answered only a few questions neutrally. I think this test would roll sensitive/empathic/psychic types right into having narcissistic behaviours on account of their extra sensitivities.

I wonder this too. I was trying to be objective and my instinct was to take the neutral route on most of these questions, but I forced myself one way or the other so it wouldn't be a pointless activity. I think I gave myself too much credit; the only instances I could remember for the purpose of judgement, must have been moments where I was aware of what was going on inside. In retrospect, there is no telling (from my perspective) how I acted when I was unaware of myself. I still get offended sometimes by the things other people say, so ultimately it cannot be said that I'm NOT a narcissist, and all I can say is I'm working on it, friends. :/

hello, you do not agree with what? I tried to emphasize that the results were not significant. Because it looked like a game. And in a game, we always want to win, but it can be fun. And it makes me smile to see that some identify with the results. The test is not a gospel, but it should make us think.

From the pov that my deeds define who I am, in the sense of doing conscious effort towards one´s aims, I´d still have two options when doing the test. Because the more I work on the self and gather world knowledge, the more I become conscious of the ego at the same time. So I´d say that the sense of black and white which may arise from this test questions may be partly because for the moment I still feel as part of both sides, the effort in itself and the ego.

fww.

Well I’m not awesome.... can anybody explain in simple terms the difference between introverted and covert narcissism...? the information presented seems to gone over my head, or is simply ridiculous.

Having a bad cognitive moment or something...
