There was a study that found, at least in research setting, you could just ask them because they consider narcissistic traits as a strength. I'm wondering to what degree this can be generalized to common conversation though. It seems like everybody on SW agrees with "You got to always put yourself first" for example, lol.

@ChiRho Yeah, and like I was getting to if one straightforward asks "I can't stand narcissists, are you one" the answer is obviously going to be different from anonymous survey asking "How narcissistic are you". But I think most aren't THAT subtle about it; it's just it's charming, seen in terms of confidence and popularity, and they're things most people do to some degree.
So it's a question of when it becomes a pathological problem, though to me it's a giant red flag when someone declares they have to always put themselves first. Kinda like that joke, "All my ex's were narcissists. They thought they were more important than me".

@Faust76 I agree on everyone having some of those traits to some degree. And it varies drastically with every individual, sometimes mostly in the people are on the grey area and don’t even know it. Then there are those who so far down the rabbit hole that it’s impossible to not spot them lol
