Have you ever wondered if somebody you love is more in love with themselves? Have you never loved anyone as much as the reflection in the mirror?
Welcome to Narcissism 101. Thanks to researchers at The Ohio State University, the final exam is now only one question long.
Here's the question (including the note). From PsychCentral.com:
To what extent do you agree with this statement: “I am a narcissist.” (Note: The word “narcissist” means egotistical, self-focused, and vain.)
Seems almost too straight-forward, right?
“People who are willing to admit they are more narcissistic than others probably actually are more narcissistic,” said Brad Bushman, co-author of the study and a professor of communication and psychology at Ohio State University.
“People who are narcissists are almost proud of the fact. You can ask them directly because they don’t see narcissism as a negative quality — they believe they are superior to other people and are fine with saying that publicly.”
Everybody got that? Make sure to apply it to your next Tinder date. This information could save us all a little heartbreak.
