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.

Your friend may be manipulating you, with those descriptions.thanks for the additional info, verne. i totally agree with what lar says above. good job, lar! :-)
> 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).
lar, just curious, have you learned to *give* praise as well? i would think that would be an area someone with narcissistic tendencies (however subtle) might need to work on...perhaps your parents had narcissistic tendencies as well? no need to answer, mate..just tossing it out there. :-)
