COLUMBUS, Ohio – Scientists have developed and validated a new method to identify which people are narcissistic: Just ask them.
In a series of 11 experiments involving more than 2,200 people of all ages, the researchers found they could reliably identify narcissistic people by asking them this exact question (including the note):
To what extent do you agree with this statement: “I am a narcissist.” (Note: The word “narcissist” means egotistical, self-focused, and vain.)
Participants rated themselves on a scale of 1 (not very true of me) to 7 (very true of me).

I don't believe that a narcissist would respond, "Yes, I am self centered."

I answered as a "2."
But this does seem like a silly quiz.
