The Narcissistic Personality Inventory (NPI) Manual

The Narcissistic Personality Inventory (NPI) Manual is a psychological tool designed to measure narcissistic traits in individuals. It consists of a series of statements where respondents choose answers that reflect their feelings and behaviors. The NPI helps researchers and clinicians assess narcissism, which includes characteristics like self-importance, a need for admiration, and a lack of empathy. Understanding these traits can assist in various contexts, from psychological assessments to social research, as it sheds light on how narcissism affects relationships and personal behavior. The manual provides guidelines on interpreting results and using the inventory effectively.
