Get this, now apparently celebrities of all people are more narcissistic than the rest of us! My mind is blown, next thing they'll be telling us that politicians are more power hungry than the rest of us.
Seriously, do these people just have extra funding and lots of time or what.

"groundbreaking study"
That is definitely a laughable description.   |

Yeah, seven components. Not to mention entitlement, vanity, and entitlement.

Look at the fine print, HalfMooner:Funding for this study was provided in part by the USC Department of Redundancy Department of the University of Southern California which partially provided funding for this study. That explains it. |

In reply to that... I've got nothing.

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Celebrities have more narcissistic personality traits than the general population, and people with narcissistic tendencies seem to be attracted to the entertainment industry rather than the industry creating narcissists, according to a groundbreaking study conducted by researchers Drew Pinsky of the Keck School of Medicine of USC and S. Mark Young of the USC Marshall School of Business and the USC Annenberg School for Communication.
The study, which will be published in the Journal of Research in Personality (Elsevier), is the first systematic, empirical scholarly study of celebrity personality and was based on a standardized test of narcissistic personality traits administered to 200 celebrities
Gee....now see I thought these guys were all outter focused and great humanitarians who liked interacting closely with their public and gave not a thought to themselves....well, I was certainly fooled... |
