I think authority ranks high because I said yes to : "If I ruled the world it would be a better place." Hell yeah, doen't mean I want to rule the world, it's a fantasy where : have super powers to "poof" all animal abusers. :mad: Maybe not.

That one was really confusing for me. Sure I would love to but I cannot guarantee world will be a better place o:). So I decided to go with that it will freak me out because of the stress being a world leader.

I scored a 5.00 on exhibitionism. I can't complain, it's entirely right.

I'm normal, but it looks like PhizKid might be a little wonky ;) Hahaha

I've known narcissists - whew, they're so frustrating. Once you're onto them, who can't see right through them?

I thought that having only two polarized choices was ridiculous. I couldn't finish because there were too many questions where choosing either pole would have been inaccurate.

hmmm. and my vices...

Authority

Authority refers to a person's leadership skills and power. People who score higher on authority like to be in charge and gain power, often for power's sake alone. You scored particularly high in authority, suggesting you see yourself as a leader or as someone who values power.

Self-Sufficiency

This trait refers to how self-sufficient a person is, that is, how much you rely on others versus your own abilities to meet your needs in life. You scored particularly high in self-sufficiency, suggesting you are highly self sufficient.

Superiority

This trait refers to whether a person feels they are more superior than those around them. You scored particularly high in superiority, suggesting you feel you are superior to most others.

Not sure that's completely valid as some of the slightly ambiguous questions I went for the lesser option.

I don't see where Authority or Self-Sufficiency have to do with narcissism. Certainly not self-sufficiency.

Of course, we probably have a lot of folks in authority who are narcissistic.
 
  • #29
I just wonder how I scored so high on superiority =/ I don't think I'm better than anyone else...but then again I also don't think anyone is superior to me. Maybe that's what's working against me here.

fun test anyways :biggrin:
