In closing, we believe that work to date on narcissism is revealing a fascinating
story. Much is left to be understood about the nature and important consequences of
narcissism, and we suggest that the NPI-16 is a valid way to capture this construct
in situations in which use of a longer measure would be impractical. We sense that
some of those situations—such as Weld settings and/or those featuring respondents
with limited willingness to complete longer measures—are ones in which narcissism
may have especially intriguing eVects. We look forward to seeing work on narcissism
continue to expand and to seeing what this new measure reveals.
