Narcissism is a personality trait which involves a hunger for appreciation, a desire to be a center of attention, and an expectation of special treatment. Narcissism is not the same as Narcissistic Personality Disorder.
Everyone has some level of Narcissism. This app will gauge your level of narcissism and tell you whether you are below, at, or above average. This app uses the 16-item version of the Narcissistic Personality Inventory.
Narcissistic Personality Disorder is rare (~1% of the population) and occurs when narcissistic traits impair a person's daily functioning.
Disclaimer: This test is NOT a diagnostic test. A diagnosis can only be provided by a qualified healthcare professional. Please consult a physician if you are concerned about your risk of Narcissistic Personality Disorder.

I was hoping that these questions would be more informative. Like I was thinking the way my spouse would answer and it would tell him he isn't ...alot of the time it's lies or the questions aren't....the right ones. They were basic and need to be reevaluated.
Simple test, can be useful for initial knowledge, but not sure if suitable for detailed diagnosis.
it's not very long, but I guess it doesn't have to be. I got a zero which is this far from a narcissist as you can get..
too basic.....needs more real evaluation questions such as deep questions that indicate machavelluanism as well as dark triad
simple easy to understand quick test. My whole family has narcissism. I scored a 1 on this test which means thank God I'm not narcissistic.
It's reassuring to be able to take a test developed by a respected mental health Dr.
