I probably think I'm more manipulative than most others view me. I'm very hard on myself so that may have come out in the test.I think that's a big issue that affects the scores, verne. Another one might be the way you accept the description by your friend, that you are manipulative. Your friend may be manipulating you, with those descriptions.
I scored low on all categories, except moderate narcissism. The thing is, as a child, I got no praise or support. I'm very conscious of what others say, and only recently learned how to accept praise (most of the time). I consider that to be a result of child abuse, not a personality trait.
