Look At Me! I'm Not a Narcissist!

My friend Gubby must be trying to tell me that I have narcissistic tendencies, because he keeps directing me to Dr. Drew Pinsky's on-line narcissism test. I have my doubts about whether this test was actually designed by Dr. Drew -- *sigh* Dr. Drew! *sigh* -- because, you know, INTERNET, but okay, I finally took the test. Here's what it informed me.

Thanks for the quiz, Dr. Drew. I'm not a narcissist, but now I am wondering if I should be in therapy.

Funky test....Authority high and Exploitativeness is medium and an 11 is not in Robin's class....thank heaven!...but I think I have the potential to talk someone into something they might not want to do. So, I might be dangerous and under the radar........

I'm just trying to figure out what this post mean to me.

So I'm not narcissistic but I'm exploitive. I wonder if they found out that I was trying to buy a child to enter in pageants?

Exhibitionism is Low? But the other poll said I should be a stripper!

[Laurie Ann]

My score was a nine and I got a medium in Exploitativeness. I don't feel exploitive.

And Robin Quivers is Howard Stern's co-host (the DJ, not Anna Nicole's former lawyer).

Yeah, I live under a rock. A very narcissistic rock!

[The Glamorous Life (smart alec division)]

Oh I am gonna go do this. Because REAL narcissist LOVE to take quizes about themself and then post them on their blog and facebook and twitter. Oh crap....

Surprisingly, mine came out low on everything except vanity too, but my vanity was HIGH. That's because on the couple of questions about looking at yourself in the mirror, I said why yes I do. I *have* to look at myself in the mirror to keep up with the stray whiskers that pop up every single day. Has Dr. Drew ever been a middle-aged/racing toward old-aged female? Also, has he ever gone to work with his shirt on inside out or backwards? Sometimes looking in the mirror has less to do with vanity and more to do with sanity.
