Hey as a reminder, the definition/understanding most people have about the term "narcissistic" is different than whatever one this study is used. Psychology is "hard" and nearly all of it is skewed to white people from the mid to late 20th century.

IRL I'd be willing to bet like $20 that people who are more "accepting" of themselves or who listen to their emotions more rank as more narcissistic.

A better headline would be "young people score more points on an exam that supposedly (not proven to) estimate narcissistic behaviour in people"

Edit: fixed some misplaced words
