"I scored a 5, assuming I took the correct test.



http://www.ibtimes.com/blogs/a...



I matched with the average person on questions 14, 16, 18, 24 and 29.



ReflectiveBore (Twitter)/WFG (the Activity Pit)."

i scored 6.Honestly.But that fact proves this test is flawed.The reason i know is when it asked,"do you think someone should write your biography?"i thought,who on earth would want some incompetent moron to write MY autobio!I am narcissist enough to think that you are all thinking I'm perfect for that job.Peace and everyone be honest with eachother.I don't know what that meant.I was trying to end a vlog while on the level..pretending to be everyone at once.

Well, I sent my first Twit questions but I don't think I made it in time! I just have crappy timing! LOL


Since Twitter doesn't allow me to type very many characters and we all know that I'm a long winded typist...here is another question for you:



Let's say you had your own talk show on television and were making millions of dollars a year...then decided to have the RosenFan Club luncheon on a tropical island...unfortunately, the private jet carrying all of your bloggers and you crashed on a deserted island.... (no injuries but all of our clothes and luggage was lost)



Now here is the question:



Which of your bloggers do you believe would lead the group back to safety or civilization and why? Also, which blogger do you feel would thwart efforts to make it back home?

Alison,


Since I refuse to Tweet--If you do VLOG tonight, I had a question for you I wanted to add:



If you only could have one Child would you rather have a Boy or Girl?

I scored a 13 too.


However, I do have enuff of a psychology background to know that (if I were taking something like this as part of a job interview, or to keep meself out of the looney bin) the choices that include either of the words ALWAYS or NEVER are nigh-unto-invariably the wrong ones to pick [unless you're pleading insanity, of course, of course...]

I think I know why you can't sleep. Cathy's teeth. *shudders*


I scored a 9. Horribly unscientific quiz. Does thinking I'm qualified to critique the quiz make me narcissistic?

Maybe you're tired because of your sleeping habits. Humans weren't wired for the crazy hours we keep.


I've never heard anyone use "Perchance to sleep." You never know.



I got a 10 on the test. As people have said, there are all kinds of variables that could impact the results, particularly knowing the purpose of it.



I don't know if it's really intended to be a measuring test for the masses. It's seems more like a way to identify the people who won't labor over the choices, the real narcissists.

I got a 22.


Maybe they should have a special version of the test for special born leaders like me.



The test does seem to have its drawbacks though, like:



A. Being an authority doesn’t mean that much to me.

B. People always seem to recognize my authority.



What if I'm just a natural authority, and it comes easily to me, so doesn't mean that much? I could select BOTH A and B.



Also, if I claim to want to achieve great things for the benefit of others, and not myself...that is not really your run-of-the-mill narcissism, but, really full blown messianic apotheosis. (And what's wrong with that?)



Oh well, time to go gaze at my reflection.

I scored 65 out of a possible 40.


I don't know, I'm always a little skeptical of tests like these. When you read each question, you know which answer will give you a higher score, so it's tough to be honest - especially on questions that are close.



BTW, good luck on the Ford Fiesta thing. Judging by a few other videos I watched, you should be a shoe in.



Ha... I just looked up the origin of the term "shoe in". It says the term "dates back to 1928 when a 'shoo in' was a horse that was expected to win a race, not by virtue of its speed or endurance, but because the race was fixed. The sardonic 'subtext' of the original usage, now lost, was that the designated horse would win even if it were so lackadaisical in its performance that it simply wandered somehow up to the finish line and had to be 'shooed in' to victory."



Goodnight wrinkles.

"Hey ALison, are you going to watch the Family Guy episode tonight were Lois lands a job as a news reporter for FOX News. Her first assignment is to shoot an investigative exposé on Michael Moore, but when her story implicates a conservative radio host she gets fired ?"

In College as on of my psychology classes, I took a class on making these tests. The problem with them is that they almost have to be totally ambiguous as to not try to skew the results one way or the other. The problem with these kind of standard tests as they have to be given to massive amounts of people to help even out the swings in the answers.
That said I took the test and came up with a 13 myself, but it definitely could have gone higher or lower.

I took the quiz and I know what you mean about the questions. It's like the choices don't really fit me in all regards. So I decided to take the test twice. The first time I took the test, I really took some time to think about my answers. I scored 15. Then I took the test quickly, with just a little thought about my answers. On the second test, I had some different answers, but again, I scored 15. Weird huh?
