Narcissism survey


Click here to read the entire narcissistic survey. Here are 10 of the 33 questions Dr. Karyl McBride says are typical of a narcissistic mother, but these can also be applied to fathers.

1.When you discuss your life issues with your mother, does she divert the discussion to talk about herself?
2.When you discuss your feelings with your mother, does she she try to top the feeling with her own?
3.Does your mother act jealous of you?
4.Does your mother lack empathy for your feelings?
5.Does your mother only support those things you do that reflect on her as a “good mother”?
6.Have you consistently felt a lack of emotional closeness with your mother?
7.Have you consistently questioned whether or not your mother likes you or loves you?
8.Does your mother only do things for you when others can see?
9.When something happens in your life (accident, illness, divorce), does your mother react with how it will affect her rather than how you feel?
10.Is or was your mother overly conscious of what others think (neighbors, friends, family, co-workers)?
