Self-assessment

Narcissistic traits test (NPI-16)

Sixteen pairs of statements. For each pair you choose the one closest to you. The score from 0 to 16 reflects traits such as wanting admiration, authority and special status. It measures traits that everyone has to some degree, not a disorder.

Who this questionnaire is for

Useful if you want to understand how much you seek admiration or control, or if people close to you have raised this pattern.

16 questions, about 4 minutes. Your answers stay in your browser: nothing is saved or sent, and no name or email is needed.

The result is for self-awareness only. It is a screening reflection, not a clinical diagnosis. Ames, Rose & Anderson (2006). The NPI-16 as a short measure of narcissism. Journal of Research in Personality, 40(4), 440–450.
