Narcissism Test
Is someone in your life narcissistic? Or is it you?
Take it about a partner, parent, boss or friend, or about yourself. See which narcissistic traits show up, how strong the pattern is, and what to do next.
Who is it about?
See the signs first ↓Who are you thinking about?
Narcissistic traits look different in each relationship. Pick a relationship, or pick yourself, to see the signs and how a typical exchange sounds.
Illustrative example. Flags show what the test looks for.
Nine traits, one wheel.
Each question asks about something you can observe. Your answers light up the parts of the wheel that fit the person you're thinking about. Tap a segment to read it.
From loud to quiet.
Narcissism runs on a spectrum. The loud, grandiose form is easy to spot. The quiet, covert form is often missed for years.
Grandiose
Takes over rooms, expects special treatment and answers criticism with anger.
"Do you know who you're talking to?"
Covert
Feels secretly superior but unappreciated, sulks, and turns your needs into their wound.
"After everything I do for you."
Normal conflict, or a pattern?
Every relationship has hard moments. What sets a narcissistic pattern apart is how those moments end, again and again.
What your report shows.
Two versions: one about someone in your life, one about you. Both show the pattern, which form it takes, and what to do next.
Pattern: clear
Level 3 of 4. The behaviors you described match several narcissistic traits.
Describes behavior you reported, not a diagnosis of the person.
Explaining yourself more clearly won't work. They understood you the first time.Get my report
If you feel unsafe right now
A test can help you understand a pattern. It can't keep you safe. If someone is threatening, controlling or hurting you, talk to someone who can help today. Outside the US, contact your local emergency number or a domestic abuse support service.
How it works.
Choose who it's about
Yourself, or a partner, ex, parent, boss, friend or sibling. Questions adapt to your choice.
Answer 20 questions
About what you've seen, felt or done. About five minutes, fully private.
Read your report
The pattern, its form, and specific next steps for your situation.
What this test is, and isn't.
The questions describe behaviors linked to narcissistic personality traits, both in clinical criteria and in research on grandiose and vulnerable narcissism. Your answers show how strongly those behaviors appear in the person you're thinking about, or in you.
It is not a diagnosis. Only a qualified clinician who assesses the person directly can diagnose narcissistic personality disorder. Many people show some of these traits without having the disorder.
Questions people ask.
See the pattern clearly.
Twenty questions, five minutes, about someone in your life or about you. Your report is ready the moment you finish, and no one else will see it.
