What you get a score for
- Wanting admiration. How much you seek praise, attention and recognition from others.
- Feeling special. How much you see yourself as unusually talented, important or above others.
- Expecting special treatment. How much you feel the usual rules or waits shouldn't apply to you.
- Tuning out others' feelings. How often other people's feelings go unnoticed or feel unimportant to you.
