In response to this story, I took the Narcissistic Personality Inventory. I scored a 6. Hmm.. I think I must have taken it wrong. I mean, I never actually thought I was a narcissist (despite what one might think after reading 5 years worth of my blog posts), but I thought I’d score a little closer to average. The average American scores just over 15 points. The average celebrity scores almost 18 points. I guess I’ll never be a celebrity. Not that I wanted to (duh, 6 points). Does this make me a pushover? What’s the opposite of narcissistic?
This website says the opposite of narcissism is Altruism. Hmmm… Then the site goes on to theorize that altruists are usually “victimized” by narcissists. Interesting. I think it’s mostly BS, but I have known an excess of narcissists over the years. Not that I feel victimized. Wouldn’t feeling victimized conflict with the whole idea of being altruistic?
I haven’t had any alcohol in 10 days, which might explain the semi-intellectual post here. I am now suffering from overactive brain cells. I’m trying to make it until Saturday. I was going to go for 2 whole weeks, but then Mike and Kim had to go and have their fall fest, and if Kim sees me sober for a second weekend in a row, she’s going to start passing rumors.
P.S. I won the Beep NFL confidence pool AGAIN this week. Bring it!
