"Snoop"

A priceless excerpt from the book Nicole and I have been reading, "Snoop"
From the maker of youjustgetme.com (we both have a new academic crush!)


"Narcissits are a fascinating group. Unlike many people with extreme personalities - those who are paranoid or excessively emotional and attention-seeking - narcissists often function well in positions of power and responsibility. My colleague Daniel Ames at Columbia University's School of Business allows his MBA students, all of whom are exceptionally high-functioning, to take various personality questionnaires, and he offers the students feedback on the scores. A few years back, one student got the maximum possible score on the narcissism test. Given that most people view narcissism negatively, Ames was concerned taht the feedback might some as a shock to the student. But he need not have worried. The student's high levels of narcissism swung into action to construe this troubling information in a positive light. Ames later overheard the student telling another, "I aced the narcissism test- I got every single question right".
