  • The Narcissitic Personality Inventory


    The Narcissistic Personality Inventory is one of the somewhat standardized psychological tests that is given for ranking someone's narcissism. In general, the theory of narcissism currently states that narcissism is a continuum from what is essentially healty selfishness to Narcissitic Personality Disorder, with varying shades of narcissism in between. The application of such standardized exams is part of the research in evidence-based assessment of personality disorders

    These are the 44 forced questions of The Narcissistic Personality Inventory, as described in Raskin and Terry. You can find a downloadable Access application on Empirisoft forums. You need to sign up for their forums (free sign up) to download the attachment.
