THE NARCISSISM ASSESSMENT: Mindset and Behavioral Tendencies, Scaled

Narcissism Checklist Instructions:
This assessment contains 60 questions that will help you reflect on the traits and behaviors of someone you believe is a narcissist or has NPD (narcissist personality disorder). As you read each question, think about the person you have in mind. Check the box that reflects the individual's general tendencies in that area. It's often helpful to listen to your instinctive response; try not to overthink. At the end, the total score will reveal the degree of narcissistic traits you see in the person and help set the stage for healthier awareness and empowered responses on your part. The results do not diagnose or rule out NPD. Although times vary depending on personal factors, this survey takes approximately 15 minutes to complete.
