Narcissism Self-Assessment
A confidential check-in based on the Narcissistic Admiration and Rivalry Questionnaire.
Important Notice
This self-assessment is for informational and educational purposes only. It is not a diagnosis and is not a substitute for evaluation by a licensed mental health professional. The NARQ measures everyday narcissistic traits that exist on a continuum — high scores do not indicate Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Only a qualified clinician can diagnose any personality condition.
Instructions: Below are 18 statements. For each one, indicate how much you agree, on a scale from 1 (do not agree at all) to 6 (agree completely). Be honest with yourself — there are no right or wrong answers.
