I scored 17.
The question about “feeling bad for tricking people” bothers me. If you don’t trick people, there’s no need to feel bad.

Some of the less well known characteristics of toxic narcissists and sociopaths are:
1. Needing constant praise.
2. Over the top fantasies concerning money, power, fame, sex
3. Secret sex lives.
4. Identification with famous and talented people, or seeing oneself, along with one or a few others as exceptional and above the usual rules( My ex-boyfriend was a perfect example of this when it came to his business partner with whom he was probably having an affair. He also liked to brag about famous people he knew.)

I learned this stuff from an article in the Seattle PI about 10 years ago. Also A Perfect Husband by Aphrodite Jones, so-so true crime book with one terrific chapter.

You can see how some of this stuff intersects with other problems such as bi-polar disorder or erotomania, which is what I suspect Anita Hill may ha e had.

You have an excellent point, sometimes, it is difficult to take the test properly.

It seems that you don't trick people, period, and that is a positive trait.

However the answer should be yes you WOULD feel bad if you did so.

On the other hand is it tricking you into the admission that you trick people by allowing you to look good by "feeling bad"?
