I am a tad entitled, that much is true. I am marginal megalomaniac, but I don't really care much about controlling people just for shits and giggles.
However, I seldom ever rely on others to finish my projects or reach my goals.
In that one, I scored 73 in covert narcissism; apparently, it is slightly above average. However, they were trying to make a parallel between introverts, hypersensitive people and narcissism.
Yet, this is another point that conflicts:
In a recent study conducted on a group of 420 undergraduates, Jonathan Cheek and colleagues found that higher scorers on this “Maladaptive Covert Narcissism Scale†tended to also score higher on tests of entitlement, shame, and neuroticism, and tended to display lower levels of self esteem, extraversion, agreeableness, and conscientiousness. In contrast, maladaptive overt narcissism wasn’t related to shame, self esteem, or neuroticism, even though overt narcissists reported feeling just as entitled as covert narcissists.
