Narcissists are known for their exaggerated sense of self-importance. They think that the world literally revolves around them. Narcissists draw their main satisfaction from making other people see them as persons of great importance who know everything. If you’re dealing with a narcissist but not sure what type it is, our narcissist quiz will help you figure it out! After taking the narcissist quiz, you will have a clear understanding of the narcissist type you’re dealing with and get helpful advice on how to get out of such a situation.

Who is a Narcissist?

Lately, people seem to be fascinated with the concept of narcissism more than ever. Perhaps it’s because we’re all a little bit narcissistic or know someone else who is.

So, who is a narcissist?

Narcissists are smitten with an idealized self-image, which they wear around other people to escape reality. Deep down they are wounded creatures who are just too scared to admit it to themselves and other people around them. To compensate for their injuries, they create a “perfect self-image” that is flawless in an attempt to make themselves feel better.

Psychotherapy has proven to work just fine for the majority of people diagnosed with this condition. It’s not that narcissists are very dangerous people, but spending too much time around them might have adverse effects on you. Their alter-ego may begin to make you feel like a failure or worse still stop you from reaching your full potential.

Narcissists live on making other people feel less achieved about themselves and regard them as some form of a superhero.

Narcissist Quiz

Grandiose Narcissist

You're dealing with a grandiose narcissist. In psychology, grandiosity refers to having an unrealistic sense of superiority. This type is characterized by high self-esteem, a sense of personal superiority and entitlement, overconfidence, a willingness to exploit others for self-gain, and hostility and aggression when challenged. A grandiose narcissist can be charming but often lacks empathy. In conversations, they don't relate to people, but rather one-up them. This narcissist type has a habit of trying to manipulate or/and control others. They push forth positive illusions about themselves and suppress any information that puts them in an unflattering light. Grandiose narcissists can be insensitive, aggressive, and dominant. They tend to exaggerate their importance and brag a lot. When dealing with a grandiose narcissist, they will push your boundaries, eroding them so a lower level of treatment becomes the new normal. Be prepared to enforce your boundaries—even better, walk away.

Vulnerable Narcissist

You're dealing with a vulnerable narcissist, also known as a covert narcissist. This type craves people's recognition and gets very defensive in the face of criticism. Usually, a covert narcissist is abjectly miserable and believes his/her suffering is worse than anyone else's. This narcissist type is insecure, introverted, passive, and withdrawn. He/she craves people's recognition and gets very defensive in the face of criticism. Vulnerable narcissists may feel offended or anxious when others don't treat them as if they are special. They are usually passive-aggressive but come across as very helpless. You can recognize this type by the tendency to a victim mentality. They are quick to cry or stage crises to gain attention. They often struggle with anxiety and depression. Usually, vulnerable narcissism comes as a result of emotional trauma. But you have to remember that although they may have been hurt before, it's not your duty to rescue them or save them. Make sure you set clear boundaries when dealing with this type.

Sexual Narcissist

You're dealing with a sexual narcissist. This type manipulates those around him/her for his/her sexual pleasure. They want to have as many partners as possible to portray a sexual prowess that they believe they possess. Yet, such a person never gets intimate with anyone. This type has a self-centered view of sex. Usually, he/she reacts poorly to sexual rejection. A sexual narcissist expects sex in return for gifts or nice gestures. He/she pressures, tricks, or manipulates you into having sex with him/her. Moreover, he/she feels entitled to get sex elsewhere if you don't meet their sexual needs. A sexual narcissist expects a lot of praise for their performance in bed. However, they are not very interested in their partner's needs. Sexual narcissists are often serial cheaters and may behave violently during sex. To protect yourself from a sexual narcissist, your safest option is to get out of the relationship and seek therapy to help you get through the breakup with a narcissist. Staying in such relationships will eventually destroy you completely.

Malignant Narcissist

You're dealing with a malignant narcissist. This is a manipulative and malicious type that may even show signs of sadism and aggression. He/she can hurt you physically, emotionally, financially, and sexually and never feel like they need to apologize. Such a person gets pleasure seeing people in pain and discomfort. He/she is always suspicious of those around them. A malignant narcissist is only capable of seeing things as black and white, such as whether someone is a friend or enemy. They would do anything that it takes to get what they want, regardless of the harm it may cause others. This type of narcissist feels empowered by hurting or harming others. They rank relationships and other people based on superficial standards rather than emotional qualities. Such a person tends to bully people who he/she thinks are below them. They feel comfortable taking advantage of people to achieve their own goals. If you know a malignant narcissist, try your best to avoid them completely and cut off all ties. Any attempts to outsmart them will be unsuccessful and exhausting. Your safest option is to stay away from them!

Spiritual Narcissist

You're dealing with a spiritual narcissist. This type often uses his/her spirituality to justify harmful behaviors and uses spiritual jargon to intimidate others. Such a person projects an idealized version of himself to escape his broken, insecure self. A spiritual narcissist uses seemingly sensitive and spiritual actions as a way to elevate themselves above others. Such a person believes that spiritual wisdom makes him/her more special than others. This type of narcissist always backs his desires with only those spiritual facts that suit him. They may even pretend to be empathetic, kind, and considerate, however, it's just the role they're playing to gain attention and manipulate others. The truth is their actions in day-to-day life never match what they promote in public. They have a tendency to hear selectively to what is in agreement with their reasoning. Usually, spiritual narcissists are surrounded by friends and followers who accept everything they say without challenging it. If someone you know uses their spirituality as a tool to manipulate or belittle you, your best option is to separate from them.

Spiritual Archetype Quiz

Alchemist

The alchemist is the wizard. This archetype loves change and transformation. In turn, they look forward to the possibilities and changes that the future holds. Alchemists seek spiritual Unity, blessings, atonement, and alignment through the practice of rituals, spells, and ceremonies. Often, these rituals, spells, and ceremonies include the invocation of non-physical beings such as spirits and elemental forces through the careful arrangement, manipulation, or construction of physical objects. To an Alchemist, service, sacred rites of passage, and everyday acts of faith aid in strengthening their connection to the Divine.

Cenobite

The Cenobite archetype values the sense of belonging to a spiritual family. This personality derives their human connection when in the company of like-minded people. In turn, the cenobite creates meet-ups and social communities with other persons that share their thoughts, objectives, and dreams. Due to their selfless nature, cenobites have unconditional love for others. As a person who deeply values human connection, you feel the most emotionally and spiritually healthy when you’re surrounded by like-minded people. You thrive the best when you’re leading, or part of, a soul tribe.

Devotee

Do you find yourself drawn to a spiritual journey characterized by devotion to a deity or spiritual figure? If so, your dominant personality is the Devotee spiritual archetype. See, the Devotee worships, commits to, and serves a God or Goddess, Buddha, Jesus, the Holy Mother, or any other divine power. More so, the Devotee prefers growing while under the guidance and support of an experienced spiritual teacher or mentor. Typical traits of a devotee include being receptive, passionate, trusting, open, determined, and humble. You are passionately devoted to the search of finding your True Nature through the process of self-emptying. You feel the most spiritually supported when you are guided by an experienced teacher, guide (whether physical or nonphysical), mentor, or guru. In more advanced levels of growth, Devotees are devoted to listening and honoring the voice within.

Saint

The Saint spiritual archetype has great compassion for humanity. This archetype views all lifeforms as sacred and needs to be preserved. As a result, they engage in benevolent causes like giving to charity, looking after endangered animals, or advocating for the rights of the needy and vulnerable in society. The Saint archetype values action as the highest form of love. Dogma and spiritual theories mean nothing to the Saint if they can’t be backed by loving action. At heart, you are a sensitive, charitable, and intensely warm-hearted person. You can’t stand to see acts of injustice, abuse, or neglect committed against life. You are the kind of person to take on the suffering of others and be the spokesperson for a movement or benevolent cause. You are the defender of the downtrodden, the protector of the abused, and the nurturer of the disowned. Dogma and spiritual theories mean nothing to you if they can’t be backed by loving action. Opening your heart to others is your personal religion.

Mystic

The mystic spiritual archetype is naturally intuitive and sensitive. Hence, this archetype relies on feelings to discern messages from the spiritual realm. For example, the mystic may view their current struggles as a necessary step to discover their True Nature and connect to a higher calling. In turn, they hardly find pleasure or satisfaction in riches, fame, or status in society. They also view themselves as one with the universe. Consequently, they devote their lives to finding divinity in all aspects of life. If you are the Mystic archetype, you will be drawn towards transcending the ego and melting the boundaries between “you” and Infinite Consciousness. To you, the ultimate achievement in life is the unio mystica, the spiritual marriage between the self and the Soul.

Ascetic

Do you seek self-perfection, to the extent of forgoing material possessions? You could be the Ascetic archetype. The Ascetic is also known as the “Yogi” in Eastern spiritual tradition. This spiritual archetype is dedicated to experimenting with, mastering, and obtaining higher states of consciousness. Also, the Ascetic archetype pursues a spiritual journey characterized by the denial of bodily needs. The Ascetic’s spiritual practices almost always involve some degree of abstinence or rigorous training. As an Ascetic, you are particularly drawn to practices that induce alternate states of consciousness or higher states of consciousness such as energetic breathing techniques, meditation, mantra chanting, yogic postures, sleep alteration, special diets (fasting, veganism, etc.), and so forth. For you, self-discipline, abstinence, sobriety, or chasteness are often chosen pathways to experience Unity.

Sage

The Sage spiritual archetype is a knowledge seeker, a philosopher at heart who seeks to understand and teach the mysteries of existence. Anyone with this archetype invests most of their lifetime to study sacred texts, quotes from spiritual teachers, or any other material that will deepen their connection with the Divine. More so, these individuals can articulate their wealth of knowledge to others, either in writing or by speaking. Eventually, as a wise philosopher, the sage takes up the role of a spiritual guide or teacher in spiritual communities. While you enjoy analysis, abstract reasoning, ideas, theories, and philosophies, you feel the most fulfilled when you can transform them into your own teachings. At heart, you’re a seeker of wisdom through the vehicle of the mind.

Prophet

When the Prophet spiritual archetype is dominant in you, you become the channel through which the spiritual realm communicates to humanity. As a Prophet, you have the gift of channeling and enlightening humanity with sacred knowledge. Whether through metaphysical gifts such as “second sight,” mediumship, and clairsentience, or through practices such as deep meditation and self-hypnosis, you are able to gain insight from spirit guides, angels, nature spirits, ancestral souls, or Consciousness itself for the benefit of others. In this world, you serve as a vessel or open channel through which wise, profound, predictive, and crucial guidance can be accessed.

Hermit

Are you a loner? The Hermit spiritual archetype prefers solitude. Anyone with this personality is introspective, pursuing a spiritual journey away from distractions. However, not all introverts have the hermit as their dominant archetype. Similarly, the hermit finds internal balance when meditating or studying spiritual aspects of life. As an introspective person who is prone to deep rumination, solitude gives you the opportunity to reveal your True Nature. Solitude is your greatest teacher, and it allows you to return to human society with a renewed sense of perspective and wisdom to share with others.

Disciple

Anyone with a dominant disciple spiritual archetype is a natural learner. Such persons thrive under the guidance of a spiritual leader by listening and learning from them. Usually, disciples are loyal and passionate supporters of a single teacher, ideal, creed, doctrine, or religious teaching. They find great support, confidence, security, and emotional closure in their chosen spiritual path. As a steadfast student and adherent of your faith, you feel the most fulfilled when you are learning, teaching, preaching, serving, or worshiping your particular expression of Divinity. You thrive when you are surrounded by people of similar faith and conviction, but above all, you enjoy the process of learning.

Rebel

The Rebel spiritual archetype is a truth seeker. Anyone with this personality trait uses their insight to sieve through ideologies, illusions, and myths. That way, they tell apart the truth from misconceptions. Also, the Rebel archetype leads a lifestyle detached from any misleading spiritual concepts. Your ability to see through, challenge, reject, uproot, and expose limiting beliefs, traditions, and ways of life make you a powerful force of change in the world. Spiritually, your ability to see the truth is what endows you with immense wisdom and sacred understanding so often lacked by others. Your desire to reveal the truth at all costs is what makes you so loved and, at the same time, so feared by others.

Shaman

Finally, the Shaman spiritual archetype is a healer and a gifted storyteller. The Shaman archetype is also known as a medicine man/woman or a healer. This spiritual archetype helps other people heal on a soul level. If you are the Shaman archetype, you feel the most spiritually fulfilled when you’re helping others find health and wholeness again. Deep within you, there is the urge to heal other people of their ailments, whether they be physical, emotional, mental, or spiritual. As an earthy and sensuous person, you are able to feel and engage with the Soul of the earth, the Soul of animals, and the Soul of other human beings. You feel the most at home in nature, where the presence of the Divine can be felt clearly. As an outsider, you notice things other people don’t seem to notice or care about.

wounded inner child archetype quiz image

The wounded inner child lives in our subconscious, protecting us from the outside world. It needs guidance and loving-kindness from our adult self so it can learn to trust this world and feel whole again. Until the inner child is healed, our past problems and pain will continue to reveal themselves. According to the laws of karma, we are fated to repeat the cycle until we consciously break it. The seeds of karma that created the wounds in our inner child are stored in our subconscious. Until we replace these seeds of karma by planting new, positive seeds, they will continue to grow and ripen into negative outcomes. And, by planting the seeds of positive karma, we also benefit from the positive characteristics of a healed inner child.

This quiz will help you to determine your wounded inner child archetype so that you know what aspect of your inner child you need to heal. When answering the questions, try to be as honest with yourself as possible. Don’t rush to click on the answer button, take time to think about it. You may feel like you could choose several answers, but you can only choose one answer, the one that resonates with you the most. You may also feel like nothing resonates, then take some time to think about each answer a little more, tune into your subconscious and pull the memories or information that will be the best match to one of the answers. Remember that this quiz is designed for people with a wounded inner child. If you feel like you are not one of them, this quiz is probably not for you.

Wounded Inner Child Archetype

People Pleaser

You care more about those around you than about yourself. It’s hard for you to say “no” to people. You usually say “yes” to everyone and put yourself second. You often ignore your own needs in favor of others. You are usually attracted to people who make you feel “needed”. You often find yourself in co-dependent relationships. In order to heal your inner child wounds, you have to start setting personal boundaries, learn to say “no” to people, practice self-care, and prioritize your needs. Your affirmation is: “I love myself. I take care of myself with love. I am safe. I am enough.”

Perfectionist

You feel seen, heard, and valued through success and achievements. Perhaps, you come from a family where one parent was a perfectionist. You had a strong focus on performance and success in your childhood, whether in the school environment or in the family. This might have made you believe that you have to achieve high performance and outperform others in order to be worth something and to earn your place in the world. Not being successful enough makes you feel incomplete. You live in a constant pressure to perform. You may even believe that the only way to receive love is to be perfect. That’s why you make sure your physical appearance is always perfect. Your academic achievements, financial and professional status are also very important for your self-worth. In order to heal your inner child wounds, you have to practice unconditional self-love, focus more on your inner peace and spirituality, and let go of your “perfect” self-image. Your affirmation is: “I love and accept myself the way I am. I am perfect and whole in my imperfection. I am free. I am loved. I am enough!”

Underachiever

You keep yourself unseen and beneath your potential due to the fear of criticism or shame of failure. You never get in anyone’s way and never compete with others. Perhaps, you come from a family where one of your parents was “inferior” to another parent or financially dependent on them. Or, maybe you had an excessively high focus on achievements during childhood. You believe that it’s easier to get along with people when you are quiet, “good”, and agreeable. Maybe you even feel like you are not good enough to be seen or have needs. Usually, you avoid any trials and challenges as you are extremely afraid of failure and criticism, leaving your potential unfulfilled. In order to heal your inner child, you need to get out of your “cozy shell” and allow yourself to stand out. Get out of your comfort zone and be okay with criticism and failures. Learn to express yourself, to show your authentic self to the world. Even if you’ll get criticized for that, it is so worth it! Allow yourself to speak your truth. Your affirmation is: “I deserve to be seen and heard. I fulfill my potential. I love and accept myself the way I am. I am free to be who I am. I am enough!”

Rescuer

You always try to help, protect, and save others. You believe that by helping others you take control over the situation those people are in. It gives you a sense of security. You felt needed very early in life and this made you feel like this is your responsibility to always help others. Therefore, you are often attracted to people who need your help or your advice. And you are happy to help. However, in your attempts to help others you may forget about your own needs. Too many responsibilities create a big pressure so that it’s hard to relax and you may often feel exhausted. To heal this wound, you need to learn to prioritize your self-care and self-love routine. There’s nothing wrong with helping others. However, you shouldn’t sacrifice your own needs for others' happiness. Be honest with yourself and ask yourself: “Can I really help this person or is it my ego wants me to save him?”. If you know you can’t help, learn to be okay with saying “no”. And if you feel like you can, then do it without getting attached to the result. Do whatever you can but don’t overdo so that you become responsible for other people’s life. Your affirmation is: “I allow myself to relax. I allow myself to take care of my needs. I take care of myself with love. I love and accept myself for who I am.”

“Forever” Child

Others see you as a fun and cheerful person who doesn’t have any problems or struggles. Being always surrounded by people is your way to avoid dealing with your pain and vulnerability. You never show your weakness, pain, or vulnerability. You only show your happy, funny, and strong side. Perhaps, you experienced rejection in your childhood when you showed anger, sadness, or other “uncomfortable” emotions, which is why you developed the belief that you would only be loved and accepted if you were happy and spread a good mood. This often happens with boys when their fathers don’t allow them to cry. This makes them emotionally unavailable partners. You are often attracted to people who act like if they were your parents, who can support you financially or take care of you. In order to heal this wound, you need to do your shadow work. It is essential to accept yourself fully - with all your negative and positive emotions and feelings. You have to understand that it’s okay to feel sad when you’re going through a sad moment in life. It’s okay to be weak and vulnerable when you feel this way. It’s okay to show people your authentic self - with all your ups and downs. Your affirmation is: “I love and accept myself the way I am. I allow myself to feel and express all my emotions. I am emotionally mature. It is safe to feel. I am whole.”
