Woah, the Escapist record so far! Not a particularly good test
though since it can't differentiate between someone who erroneously believes they are better than others and someone who actually is better, and it would be dead easy to get a low score by deliberately answering the "modest" answers. Quite seriously I don't believe I have the disorder despite scoring high enough since I get along well with most people, certainly not bad enough it's a disorder >.>
Isn't that what narcissism is? Not necessarily being better than everyone, but thinking that you're better regardless of whoever you're going against
I think that's what he's saying. For example, the first choice is between " I have a natural talent for influencing people" and "I am not good at influencing people." Some people may just think that about themselves. Other people really do have that ability. We call many of them lawyers, teachers, salesmen, and politicians.
Narcissism is more about thinking you're hot shit, when really you're not. The personality disorder is just horrible -- it's closely related to sociopathy, if you can believe it.
