While relaxing in my cubicle earlier this week I took a fun little test called the Narcissistic Personality Inventory, a 40 question test designed to measure features of Narcissistic Personality Disorder (based on the DSM-III clinical criteria) in the general population. Please understand that The Man does not typically have time for any sort of self-awareness foolishness. He barely has time to keep up with the local professional wrestling association's schedule (I'm going this weekend!), critical office gossip, or remembering to always speak in the third person. But also understand that there are time during every work day when even The Man cannot keep up the blazing productivity pace The Man tries to set for everyone on the team, and during those times must find respite in the bounty of the internets.
Will y'all take the test? Click on this link to go to a download link for a word doc with the test questions. After you take it, leave a comment & I'll post the key for scoring it & then I'll post my scores (and maybe I'll be able to talk Adale into letting me post hers too). In addition to an overall score, the test gives scores for different aspects of narcissism like authority and vanity, and we both thought it was relatively accurate.
I won't give away how I scored, but I'll give you a little hint: I have a blog where I write about my life.
Peace out, bitches

"Leader" seems to be a catch-phrase for an awful lot in this test.
Frequently found myself looking for option C. Consequently, many of my answers are contradictory.
To the question, "I like looking at your naked body," I answered A. Was that correct?
There's no shame in the enjoyment one gets from looking at my naked body. I'm sure you can't help it.
Your reply is beside the point. Was A the correct answer?
I was not aware that you wrote the exam. If you did, then it would be your body that the question asked about.
You ARE vain, aren't you? Or do you simply call yourself a "leader"?
