I got a 4. It would probably have been higher if I wasn't such an "introvert". There's a monthly "newsletter" at work that features someone from my area and I'm absolutely dreading the day they ask me to be the "person of the month". I may have to quit before it happens. Oh, God, I'm giving myself a panic attack just thinking about it happening......
Also, I've done 'management' type stuff - and I never ever ever want to be in charge of other people ever again. I'm not cut out to lead people. I'd quit and become a cat wrangler before I'd accept being responsible for other people's actions.

I think part was because of leader and manipulative. You have to be both to herd 5 and 6 year olds.

Is that good or bad?
What is a narcissist?

Weird, I got a 26. I don't think I answered oddly. Like I said, I'm less than confident in these kinds of self-assessment tests.
Its largely interpretation and I think twice I saw pairs of choices that neither applied really. So it was pick which seemed less wrong.
How you answer the questions depends largely on how you interpret them. If you prefer to look in the mirror for example over another activity you really dislike, it isn't assessing your vanity or narcissism in your specific case. It would be showing you'd rather look into the mirror than say go to the dentist.
But these tests are based on assumptions of how narcissists should answer. How reliable, accurate and precise they are, who knows? And if you realize they are trying to trap you into saying something that isn't true, most people answer differently.
How reliable, accurate and precise they are, who knows? Bolding in quote isn't working!! But the day I take these quizzes seriously I want someone to drop a net over me One actually said I was a JOY - wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5. It seems most of us are well below the average. Maybe that is an internet forum, introvert thing.

Wait, what?! You mean the quizzes that say I'm wise, charming, popular, brilliant and smooth aren't true? First I'm told karma doesn't work and now this. So sad.

But now might be a good opportunity to corner the markets in nets.

So, NNP, this net thing...
I just want to be prepared.
What happens after the net is dropped over you?

#12 was hard- I hate following orders but I never want to give them.
My score was 4, but I think some of the questions did not give me a sufficiently "hide in a cave" type of option.

I got a 10 too. I think mine is a little low because I don't really like the way I look right now, and I'm a pretty big introvert. I also would rather receive orders, and not take over the world because that seems like a lot of stress these days. But for the record, mine should be higher....after all, I'm awesome!

I'm surprised that I got a 28. I'm basically an introvert. But I am comfortable with my looks and I do like to be in charge, so that may have skewed the numbers.

They drop a net over you to corral you then: Ah, net optional. I had a feeling.
Unfortunately last night was a suicide protocol thing at work so this wasn't as funny today for me as it normally would have been. Very stressful repeated calls from one of the patient's family who wanted to talk my ear off instead of let me get her to someone who could help.
Probably funny as hell if I could have watched it unfold like a movie instead of living it. (The caller talking to me, not the patient situation.)
