"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

So here is a test that is supposedly a good indicator of the prevalence of Narcissistic Personality Disorder within people. Not sure if it is psychologically credible. But I believe it was designed by Clinical Psychologists.

My score: 34/40

20/40 is considered narcissistic

18/40 is your average celebrity

12-15/40 the test considers to be the average person

enjoy! and post your scores!

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

I added them and only got 11. Is that how you do it? Add the scores up?

You choose either A or B out of 40 then they will process it for you. Some of the choices are traits that a narcissist would display and some are not.

But I am so much better than that test, there's no way I can be narcissistic....
hahaha, nice emphasis.

Its funny because someone who readily calls themselves a narcissist is more likely to pride their own narcissistic traits and actually be a narcissist. Its almost reciprocal. If you are a narcissist, you like it, and you become more narcissistic because of it. A vortex of conceit, if you will.

I scored 27,, is that bad? Wait a second, don't answer that question. I probably don't care about your opinion anyway. Unless of course you're reinforcing my belief about how awesome I am, which is just a thinly veiled cover up for my poor poor fragile ego :'|.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

I got 28 but I don't put too much stock in what the hivemind deems "narcissistic". Anyone with a set of balls and the will to be better than the average plugged in X-factor watching mouth breather is going to be a "narcissist" by default I'm betting.
Completely agree with you. Too often people are scolded for daring to be better than the average, ambitionless underachiever.

Your Total: 27

Between 12 and 15 is average.
Celebrities often score closer to 18.
Narcissists score over 20.
Because you scored 18 or higher, you may want to check out the symptoms of narcissistic personality disorder.
I like it when websites play doctor. Apparently I'm in need of help.

I also like having the authority to move threads wherever I please, places such as the Anything Else forum...

I got 19 but I was expecting higher. I consider myself a narcissist but a relatively self-aware one. I try to focus on the strengths of narcissism (e.g. confidence, will to power) while minimizing the dysfunctional attributes (e.g. fragile ego, unstable sense of self) that come with it.

dutchmaster mentioned psychopathic traits. Here's a similar test for psychopathy: http://personality-testing.info/tests/LSRP.php
I got 3.6/5 and 3.5/5, which are both higher than about 86% of people.

Haha what's up to my brother
3.3/5 3.7/5

You score for primary psychopathy was higher than 80.6% of people who have taken this test.

You score for secondary psychopathy was higher than 90.6% of people who have taken this test.

I guess it makes sense people on this forum have narcissistic/psychopathic traits.. It takes a cold calculating mind to run game.

I got 25.


Authority: 5.00

Entitlement: 2.00

I answered pretty honestly and this sounds about right.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Most of the questions are not about being narcissistic or not, most of them are connected to self esteem and need of dominance.

Im sure most of afcs would have a perfect score to use to seek approval.

11.

There is actually a new test---which is supposedly validated---that has one question: Do you consider yourself a narcissist?

Apparently narcissists acknowledge their narcissism and think that there is nothing wrong with it---a hallmark feature of a personality disorder.

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
