SD3
Wondering about narcissistic traits — in yourself or someone else? A validated measure.
Searching 'narcissist test' usually means one of two honest questions: 'is this me?' or 'is this someone in my life?' This free test measures narcissistic traits using the Short Dark Triad (SD3), a validated research instrument — no pop-quiz labels, just a measured score.
Narcissism in the SD3 is a trait dimension everyone sits somewhere on, not a yes/no diagnosis. You'll get your narcissism score in context with the other two 'dark triad' traits, explained in plain language. If you're assessing someone else, remember: self-report tests only work on the person taking them.

Self-report scales are only valid for the person answering honestly about themselves. Your own result, though, can clarify what you're experiencing.
Trait narcissism has adaptive and costly sides. The result explains what higher and lower scores tend to mean in real life.
