About the Narcissistic Partner Test

How the Test Works:

This narcissistic partner quiz consists of 29 carefully crafted questions designed to help you identify potential narcissistic behaviors and patterns in your relationship.

Each question focuses on specific red flags and manipulation tactics commonly used by narcissistic partners.

The quiz covers key areas including emotional manipulation, control patterns, empathy levels, and respect for boundaries.

What the Results Mean:

Your quiz results are categorized into four levels:

• Healthy Relationship (0-20 points):

Your responses suggest that, overall, your relationship reflects more positive than harmful patterns. In this type of relationship, challenges or problems may still arise, but they can often be worked through with open communication, mutual effort, and respect. This means that while no relationship is perfect, the overall patterns you've described do not align with narcissistic or manipulative dynamics

• Some Concerning Behaviors (21-40 points):

While these patterns may not necessarily indicate manipulation or narcissistic dynamics, they do warrant attention, and caution is advised. If left unaddressed, such tendencies can sometimes become early indicators of developing issues. Being aware of these dynamics now gives you the opportunity to address them before they potentially escalate.

• Significant Red Flags (41-60 points):

Your responses show a combination of behaviors that suggest manipulation and control are present in your relationship. These patterns often involve withholding affection, questioning your reality, or exploiting your vulnerabilities. The frequency and variety of these behaviors indicate a concerning relationship dynamic.

• High Risk Relationship (61+ points):

Your responses indicate you're experiencing severe patterns of manipulation and control. These behaviors can break down your sense of self, undermine your confidence, and create a constant state of fear or anxiety. The intensity and scope of these patterns represent a serious threat to your emotional and psychological well-being.
