NARCISSIST It’s all about me.”

Here’s a bullet‑point TL;DR of the Futurity article “These 5 countries have the highest narcissism levels” about narcissism and personality research: (Futurity)

Key Points

• Global study on narcissism: Research surveying over 45,000 people in 53 countries found that narcissism is a widespread trait everywhere — it isn’t confined to just Western cultures. (Futurity)

• Top countries for narcissism: The five nations with the highest average narcissism scores in the study were Germany, Iraq, China, Nepal, and South Korea — not the United States. (Futurity)

• US ranks lower: The United States ranked about 16th for narcissism despite common beliefs about American culture emphasizing self‑focus. (Futurity)

• Age and narcissism: Younger adults tend to show higher narcissism levels than older adults across cultures, suggesting personality traits shift with life experience. (Futurity)

• Gender difference: Men generally scored higher in narcissistic traits compared to women in the survey. (Futurity)

• Cultural influences: Variations across countries suggest cultural, economic, and social factors shape how narcissistic behaviours and self‑focus are expressed. (Futurity)

• Trait explanation: Narcissism involves high self‑esteem, low empathy, and self‑focus — a personality pattern that impacts how people view themselves and interact with others. (Futurity)

Bottom line: Narcissism appears as a stable personality trait seen globally, with predictable patterns by age and gender — and countries differ in average levels but not in whether narcissism exists at all. (Futurity)
