The Narcissistic Personality Inventory

The Narcissistic Personality Inventory (NPI) is a psychological assessment tool designed to measure narcissism in individuals. It typically consists of a series of statements where respondents choose options that best reflect their feelings or behaviors. The NPI evaluates traits like self-importance, entitlement, and a need for admiration, which are characteristic of narcissistic personality tendencies. While narcissism exists on a spectrum and can be present in varying degrees, the NPI helps researchers and psychologists understand how these traits manifest and aid in diagnosing personality disorders when necessary.
