The average score for the general population is 15.3. The average score for celebrities is 17.8. Pinsky says he scored 16.
Young says it is important to consider which traits are dominant. For example, an overall score that reflects more points on vanity, entitlement, exhibitionism and exploitiveness is more cause for concern than someone who scores high on authority, self-sufficiency and superiority, he says.
The seven component traits by question:
• Authority: 1, 8, 10, 11, 12, 32, 33, 36
• Self-sufficiency: 17, 21, 22, 31, 34, 39
• Superiority: 4, 9, 26, 37, 40
• Exhibitionism: 2, 3, 7, 20, 28, 30, 38
• Exploitativeness: 6, 13, 16, 23, 35
• Vanity: 15, 19, 29
• Entitlement: 5, 14, 18, 24, 25, 27
问候落梅天，好久不见！因为这个post比较早了，在首页上看不到你的留言，偶然才看到。是啊，这些题简单了一些，很难反映真实面貌。玩玩还可以。
喜欢这个很有意思的测试题，如果选项多一些可能更准确。我得了7分。优越感占了3分，表现欲占了2分，自信和自负各占1分：-）
有意思，仔仔和你居然得了一样的分数。但我想选择答案应该不一样吧。１３和其它很多题目都有很强的道德取向，的确不好作出选择。说明他有很强的ｓｅｎｓｅ ｏｆ ｍｏｒａｌｉｔｙ。有其母必有其子。:-)
哈，刚吃完晚饭，把仔仔揪过来玩。 到#13问题时，他问我可不
可以选择C，我说哪里来的C，原来人家不喜欢回答那个问题，所以
看你提到细微心理差异，不禁莞尔。 重大惊奇地发现，他跟我
一样，得了8分！ ^&^
我得了１5分，看来还是比较自恋，哈哈。当然还比不上那些 celebrities。:-)
另外，Pinsky 设计的问题选项只有A & B两项，好像是过于简单一些，不能反映出不同性格之间的那些细微的心理差异。只是玩玩还可以。
8,re-counted it~~~ Make a sense or not, I enjoyed playing it anyway. Thanks!

自戀（英語：narcissism），形容自我陶醉的行為或習慣。
那西賽斯畫像這個名詞來自希臘神話。那西賽斯（英語：Narcissus）是一名俊美的希臘青年，他拒絕了女神厄科（意譯：回聲，是一名有漂亮嗓子的女神）的求愛。他注定會愛上他自己在湖中的倒影，作為懲罰。因為沒法令他的愛變得完滿，他日益消瘦，最後變成了一朵以他命名的花——那西賽斯，也就是水仙花。
如果沒到極端的情況，自戀被視為健康心理的重要元素。
在心理學和精神分析學上，過度的自戀可以變成病態，或者會有嚴重人格分裂／不正常的表現，例如自戀人格分裂
這個字眼通常帶有貶義，代表誇張、自滿、自負、自我、或自私。當用在一個社會團體的時候，它通常代表精英主義，或者對他人疾苦的冷漠或不聞不問。
性自戀
性自戀的意義，是以色慾角度把自己看作一種性動物：有跟自己的鏡像以性來合一的慾望。根據胡伯特的分析，性自戀也可以是在性行為中自我中心心理；代表無法與他人一同享受性愛與融合的典型；他們以高姿態的性形象，掩飾他們極低的自我形象。這種情況在男性中較普遍，有人認為它是對性愛上癮的基礎。
自戀文化
歷史學家拿殊對這個問題作出了深入的研究。他認為自戀文化，是現時無論做甚麼，也以追求物質富足去作達到快樂的標準。而這種表現成為了硬性而隱蔽的社會等級制度。自由主義在這種文化中，只存在於消費社群；而在藝術、性與宗教的層面中，已經沒有了自由的力量。
在這麼一個競爭性的社會裡，可以沒有聯盟和透明度。對於社會符號的威脅實在太多，而且很多時候也是非常難以察覺的。所以防衛和競爭便成為了生活的模式。「社群」的真正意義被損害——或消滅——並將被努力希望集結社群意識的同等物取而代之。
自戀的基因特徵
在基因科學愈來愈發達的年代，很多人都提出自戀的傾向全部，或局部埋藏在基因排序之中的說法。
對孿生兒的遺傳性研究
賴夫斯利（M.D, Ph.D.）是一個專門研究人格混亂的醫生。在1993年，他和他的同事出版了一份非常重要的報告，稱為基因及環境對人格混亂的影響；報告的結論是，根據一連串的標準測試，自戀是一種很普遍的遺傳特徵。研究對象是在人口中抽出來的175對孿生兒自願者（90對同卵雙生，85對異卵雙生），每一對都做了一份分析18種人格混亂特質的問卷。報告的作者以標準方法，估量了基因與環境的相對影響。在18種人格混亂中，自戀是可遺傳度最高的一種（0.64），證明了若雙生兒有這一種特徵，多是基因遺傳的影響。在其他人格的特點中，只有四個有多於0.5的遺傳性系數：麻木不仁、身份問題、反叛與社交恐懼。報告大致上的結論是：１）與其他報告的結果一樣，有些性格具有更多的遺傳性；２）在正常與混亂的人格中，有一個連續的系統。
