NPI-style items measure narcissistic traits for research and self-reflection — not NPD
This test uses NPI-style items to help you reflect on narcissistic traits such as grandiose self-image, desire for admiration, entitlement, and difficulty with empathy. Narcissistic traits exist on a spectrum and everyone has some degree of them; a score shows a trend or range, not an absolute judgment. This result does not diagnose Narcissistic Personality Disorder and must not be used to label or diagnose other people.
What it measures
Entitlement and relationships
Patterns of expecting special treatment or feeling that one’s needs should come first in relationships.
Empathy and vulnerability
Moments when others’ feelings are missed, criticism feels especially threatening, or defensive reactions appear.
Frequently asked questions
Can this result diagnose Narcissistic Personality Disorder?
No. NPI-style scales are research and self-reflection measures of personality traits, not diagnostic tools for Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Diagnosis and treatment require assessment by a licensed professional.
Does a high score mean something is wrong with me?
Not necessarily. Narcissistic traits are a spectrum and everyone has some degree of them. The score shows a tendency; real-life concern depends on relationships, functioning, distress, and repeated patterns.
Can I use this to evaluate someone else?
No. This test must not be used to label, diagnose, or stigmatize other people. Do not use it to decide that someone is “a narcissist.”
