Contest!

Last week I got everyone to take an interactive version of the Narcissistic Personality Inventory—a test developed in 1979 “for the measurement of narcissism as a personality trait in social psychological research.”

For this particular version of the test, a maximum of 40 points are possible; the higher the score, the more narcissistic the individual. The average U.S. college undergraduate scores 15.6; U.S. adult, 15.3; U.S. celebrity, 17.8.

Going in, I had a pretty good idea how my esteemed coworkers would do. But there were some surprises. Let’s see how you do. Match the following people…

CK
Linda
Shirlee
Aaron
Courtney

…with the following scores:

1
7
12
13
16

Submit your guesses, along with your own scores (if you dare), in the comments field below. The first to answer correctly will win…something, I’m sure.

Aaron (1), Shirlee (7), Linda (12), CK (13), Courtney (16).

I don’t think I really have the insight. But I’m always game for a prize.

Personal score: 3. Which made me feel weird (and thus uncomfortable, as I’m obviously just trying to fit in) until I looked at the shape of the curve and realized the median appears to be much lower than the average.

Close, but not quite. Given the overwhelming response, however, it may very well be that you’re our winner. Try to contain yourself…

Quite obviously Aaron was the 16…
