NPI (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 assesses various aspects of narcissism, such as self-importance, entitlement, and a need for admiration. While it is commonly used in research to understand personality and behavior, it's important to note that high scores do not diagnose a personality disorder but indicate tendencies towards narcissistic traits. Understanding these traits can help in personal development and relationship dynamics.
