Narcissist Test

About this site

A small educational website with a transparent review process

Narcissist Test publishes an NPI-16 self-reflection tool and educational material about narcissism research. The site is operated by its editorial team. It is not a clinic, university, professional association, diagnostic service, or substitute for care.

What we publish

  • A fixed, source-linked NPI-16 form with a 0–16 raw score.
  • An information-only guide to the HSNS while item-use rights and review are pending.
  • Educational articles that distinguish research traits from clinical diagnosis.
  • Links to professional-help and crisis resources for situations a website cannot assess.

What we do not claim

  • The cited researchers are not represented as members, advisors, reviewers, or authors for this site.
  • No university, psychology association, or standards body is represented as a partner or endorser.
  • We do not publish an accuracy percentage, user count, fabricated review score, or certification badge.
  • The current assessment implementation has not completed independent professional review.

Editorial and implementation process

Content is prepared by the site editorial team. Research authors are cited only for their publications. Until a qualified independent reviewer signs off on a defined scope, pages state that professional review is pending.

  1. Step 1

    Start with an identifiable source

    Record the publication, form, scoring method, version, and unresolved rights questions before implementation.

  2. Step 2

    Separate evidence from product copy

    Do not turn a raw score into a diagnosis, severity level, percentile, or promise that the source does not support.

  3. Step 3

    Test the implementation

    Lock item order and scoring, reject invalid answers, and test minimum, maximum, mixed, missing, duplicate, and restored results.

  4. Step 4

    Publish review status honestly

    Name a reviewer only after their identity, qualifications, scope, date, and approval can be verified.
