Sound familiar?
“Narcissist” has become an everyday accusation — yet hardly anyone knows where they themselves land on the spectrum. Maybe you’ll recognize yourself here.
The word gets thrown around fast — but nobody has numbers
The ex, the boss, half your social circle: apparently everyone’s a narcissist. Instead of one more label, this test gives you an actual measurement — for the only person it can truly do something for: you.
Confident? Sure. But where’s the line?
You know your worth, you take the stage, and false modesty wears you out. The interesting question is when healthy self-assurance turns into a pattern that costs you relationships.
Criticism hits you harder than you admit
Brushed off coolly on the outside, chewed over for days on the inside. Thin skin under a polished surface is one of the most overlooked signals — this test brings it into view.
The same sentence, from different people
“You only think about yourself” — when that accusation comes at you from several directions, an honest look is worth it: is it really always the others, or is a pattern showing itself here?
The Three Dimensions of Your Profile
A total score alone says little — two people with the same number can live completely different patterns. That’s why we break your result down into three facets.
Grandiose vs. Modest
How big is the picture you paint of yourself? This dimension measures feelings of superiority, fantasies of success and power — and how much you run on being admired.
Entitled vs. Humble
Do you expect special treatment — or do you wait your turn? This is where it shows how naturally you claim priority, recognition, and accommodation without earning them first.
Manipulative vs. Cooperative
Are other people teammates to you — or means to an end? This dimension measures how strategically you use relationships for your own goals — often more subtly than it looks from the outside.

Solid Science, Not Armchair Diagnosis
This test is based on the Narcissistic Personality Inventory (NPI) — the instrument personality research has used most often to measure narcissistic traits for decades. One thing matters here: the NPI was developed for the general population, not for clinical settings. It measures narcissism as a normal personality trait that every person carries to a different degree.
Our version uses 25 statements on a 7-point scale to capture three core facets: grandiosity, entitlement, and exploitative tendencies. That breakdown is where the real insight lives — a high total score with a low tendency to manipulate tells a completely different story than the same result with the pattern reversed.
And because it matters especially with this topic: pronounced narcissistic traits are not narcissistic personality disorder. Only a licensed therapist or physician can determine that. This test is a reflection tool — it shows you your pattern, not your diagnosis.
This test is a self-assessment instrument and serves solely as orientation and self-reflection. It is not a diagnostic tool and can neither confirm nor rule out narcissistic personality disorder — only medical or mental-health professionals can do that. If questions about your result weigh on you, please reach out to a mental-health professional you trust.

The test is based on the NPI, an established research instrument — the measurement itself is solid. The decisive factor is you: with this topic in particular, the temptation to answer the way that seems likable is strong. Answer spontaneously and honestly, and the profile is surprisingly on target.
No. The test measures narcissistic traits on a spectrum every person lands somewhere on — a high score means a pronounced pattern, not a disorder. Narcissistic personality disorder is a clinical condition that only professionals can diagnose. By the way: moderate levels often go hand in hand with assertiveness and ambition.
The questions are written as a self-assessment — if you answer them on someone else’s behalf, you’re mostly measuring your image of that person, not the person themselves. It’s more honest to recommend the test to them. And often most revealing: going through it yourself first.
Yes. You don’t need an account to take the test, and your result can only be reached through your personal link. Especially with a topic like this, it stays entirely your decision who finds out.
Between confidence and self-inflation lies a spectrum.
