Narcissism is all the rage these days. But how can you tell for sure if you are a Narcissist or simply Narcissus? Take our simple quiz to find out!
1. I believe my appearance is …
A: Pretty average. I have my good hair days and my bad hair days like anyone else.
B: Way more attractive than most people.
C: I am the most beautiful person ever born. Even the gods think so!

4. When I picture my future I imagine…

B: An extraordinarily successful life. I’m going places, baby!
C: A long and impressive life. A seer promised my mom I’d have a long life as long as something didn’t happen. I can’t remember what exactly because who can be bothered to listen when nymphs are talking?
5. What do you do when you catch your reflection in a shop window?
A: Stop to check if my hair is okay and make sure I don’t have something stuck in my teeth.

7. My ex’s generally…
A: Move on to someone else. It’s sad, but breakups happen.

A: Of course not, what is this a comic book?
B: I am the nemesis for many people. If you have offended me watch out!
C: The goddess of retribution and revenge, Nemesis, is out to get me. She’s been mumbling something about that annoying nymph Echo and cruelty blah, blah, blah. Who cares?
9. What’s the best gift anyone ever gave you?
A. My parents bought me a used car when I graduated from college. That was pretty cool.
B: Who cares what other people give me? My very existence is a gift to the world. Other people should be showering me with gifts. Nothing is too good for me.
C: Nemesis came by the other day and led me to a pond. I guess she finally saw the light and got over that Echo thing. Anyway, I could see my reflection in the pond, and damn, am I good looking or what. Best gift ever.
10. What are you doing today?
A. Nothing much. Work. Dinner. Maybe some Netflix and chill later.
B. I’m finally gonna stick it to Tony at work. He laughed at my idea in a meeting last week and I’ve been plotting against him ever since. Today, Tony is going down.
C: I will be at this pool all day staring at my unfathomable beauty. It’s what I have been doing for the last few days or maybe it’s weeks. I’ve lost track because who can concentrate with such a handsome dude staring at you. I’m getting kind of hungry and starting to feel faint but how can I possibly pull away from this magnificence. I’d rather die than leave.
