Narcissistic Personality Inventory

The Narcissistic Personality Inventory (NPI) is a psychological assessment tool used to measure narcissistic traits in individuals. Developed in the 1970s, it consists of a series of statements where respondents indicate their agreement or disagreement. The NPI helps identify behaviors such as self-importance, entitlement, and a need for admiration. While it does not diagnose narcissistic personality disorder, it provides insights into a person's narcissistic tendencies, helping researchers and clinicians better understand personality and interpersonal dynamics. The inventory is widely used in psychology and social research to explore the impact of narcissism in various contexts.
