Narcissistic Admiration and Rivalry Questionnaire

The Narcissistic Admiration and Rivalry Questionnaire (NARQ) is a psychological tool used to measure two distinct aspects of narcissism. "Admiration" refers to behaviors aimed at boosting self-esteem and gaining admiration from others, often involving charm and confidence. "Rivalry" involves competitive or antagonistic tendencies, such as feeling threatened by others or trying to outshine them. This questionnaire helps researchers understand different ways narcissistic traits are expressed, clarifying that narcissism isn’t just one thing but can include both the desire for recognition and competitive or hostile feelings toward others.
