ARE YOU A NARCISSIST?
The pathological narcissist exhibits two basic traits: 1) the constant need to be admired and put at the center of attention; 2) the inability to accept any kind of criticism. The true narcissist sees only him or herself and uses others to keep his or her ego “inflated”.
Review the following statements and check the ones you agree with and consider best aligned with your perspective.
Determine the number of selected boxes and examine the resulting profile.
0: You are most certainly not a narcissist
1-2: You show some signs of narcissism
3-4: You are quite narcissistic
5-6: You are probably a narcissist
Explanation of sentences
I definitely feel special compared to everyone else
Agreement with this statement suggests a belief in one’s superiority, which aligns with narcissistic traits. Individuals who resonate with this sentiment often exhibit an inflated sense of self-worth and may believe they are inherently deserving of special treatment or recognition.
I despise people who get more admiration than I do
This reflects envy and competitiveness, common among those with narcissistic tendencies. Such sentiments may arise from a perceived threat to one’s self-esteem or status, leading to negative evaluations of others’ achievements.
I feel annoyance when I cannot be the center of attention
A strong need for attention is indicative of a narcissistic mindset. This behavior often manifests in social situations where individuals seek out opportunities to be recognized or praised, feeling discomfort when they are overlooked or ignored.
I love talking about myself and being listened to by people
Enjoying self-focused conversations can signify a lack of interest in others’ perspectives, typical in narcissists. This inclination towards self-centered dialogue can hinder meaningful interpersonal connections, as it prioritizes personal narratives over mutual exchange and understanding. Such interactions tend to reinforce the individual’s self-importance while neglecting the relational dynamics essential for healthy communication.
I often imagine myself doing great things and becoming famous
Fantasies of success and grandeur are characteristic features of narcissism. The preoccupation with personal greatness may lead to a distorted self-image, where one’s worth is measured by external accolades rather than intrinsic values or contributions to society.
I don’t really care much about the problems of family and acquaintances
A lack of empathy towards others’ issues is a significant marker for narcissistic personality traits. This emotional detachment can manifest as indifference to others’ struggles, suggesting an inability or unwillingness to engage with their feelings or provide support.
ARE YOU A TECH ADDICT?
Technology has become pervasive, making its use inevitable even in the most basic activities that until recently could be done without using it. However, excess is never healthy: let’s see if this is the case for you.
Review the following statements and check the ones you agree with and consider best aligned with your perspective.
Determine the number of selected boxes and examine the resulting profile.
0: You are by no means a tech addict
1-2: You are hardly a tech addict
3-4: You are quite a tech addict
5-6: You are totally a tech addict
Explanation of sentences
I couldn’t live without a car
This statement reflects dependency on technology for transportation. While cars are essential for many people because of the way society is designed, an over-reliance can indicate a lack of adaptability to alternative modes of transport such as public transit, biking, or walking.
I check my smartphone every hour at least
Frequent checking of smartphones can signify an addiction to digital connectivity. Research shows that constant notifications and the need to stay updated can lead to compulsive behavior, impacting mental health and productivity.
I wake up at night to read the notifications
This behavior suggests that technology has invaded personal time and sleep patterns. Studies have linked screen time before bed with poor sleep quality, which can further exacerbate feelings of anxiety and stress.
I am lucky to live in such a scientifically advanced age
This statement reflects a positive attitude towards technological advancements. While appreciating progress is healthy, it’s important to balance this appreciation with awareness of potential drawbacks like social isolation or information overload.
Technology makes life much easier and more convenient
Acknowledging the conveniences brought by technology is common; however, excessive reliance on these conveniences can lead to diminished problem-solving skills and reduced resilience in facing challenges without technological assistance.
I can’t imagine how people used to live without all the comforts of today
This perspective may indicate a strong attachment to modern conveniences and possibly an inability to appreciate simpler lifestyles or the benefits they may offer in terms of mindfulness and connection with nature.
ARE YOU A PERFECTIONIST?
Perfectionism is a character trait that manifests itself in the form of very high expectations toward oneself and/or others. It can be seen as a strategy aimed at coping with the uncertainty and anxiety arising from daily life, as it allows the person to keep under control, at least illusorily, all those aspects that tend to generate worry and negativity. The most immediate risk is to live in a condition of constant dissatisfaction, since controlling every area of one’s existence is simply impossible. When perfectionism becomes extreme, it can turn into a real psychopathological disorder. Usually, such a character trait is associated with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD).
Analyze the following statements and pick the ones that best describe you.
Check the number of selected boxes and read the matching profile.
0: You are anything but a perfectionist
1-2: You are not much of a perfectionist
3-4: You are a perfectionist without excess
5-6: You are a perfectionist maniac!
Explanation of sentences
I hate it when others do things sloppily
A true perfectionist does not like to delegate to others since they must have everything under control and be solely responsible for their own success or failure. The high quality standards of the person obsessed with perfectionism also reverberate on interpersonal relationships, often posing as an obstacle between the individual and others. Not infrequently, this leads to isolation or to the establishment of unhealthy relationships.
Criticism devastates me psychologically
Perfectionist people are particularly sensitive to criticism because they see it as confirmation of their inner fears about their own inadequacy. This vulnerability usually generates social anxiety and difficulties in professional and personal interactions. The perfectionist may therefore try to avoid contact with others for fear of being judged or considered not up to par.
I focus on details until the result is perfect
Obsessive planning is common among perfectionists, as they believe that meticulous preparation can prevent future mistakes. However, this behavior is likely to result in procrastination and decision paralysis, as the individual is frightened by the idea of overlooking some detail capable of making the whole project fail.
I always want to achieve the most in what I do
This statement reflects the belief that one’s personal worth is directly related to success achieved through one’s actions. People with perfectionist tendencies feel inadequate if they do not achieve excellent results. Psychologically, this may stem from very high expectations set by authority figures during childhood, or from a view of life that is overly focused on proving oneself.
I prefer to make do since others are not up to it
Anyone who likes things done well realizes that most people do not put much effort into what they do, and this can generate a strong sense of frustration and irritation, especially in those who make perfectionism a way of life. While this pushes a person towards self-improvement and learning the art of making do, it also alienates them from others and makes their social life empty and superficial.
The idea of making mistakes causes me great concern
Discovering an error in their work means, for a perfectionist maniac, finding confirmation to their fear of not being up to scratch. Here we can see the presence of a strong self-critical drive, which tends to amplify the anxiety linked to the idea of making a mistake or not achieving the set goals. Every slightest imperfection is interpreted as an overall failure.
ARE YOU A HYPOCHONDRIAC?
Hypochondria, clinically known as Illness Anxiety Disorder (IAD), is characterized by an excessive preoccupation with the fear of having a serious medical condition despite minimal or no symptoms. Individuals with hypochondria often misinterpret normal bodily sensations as signs of severe illness, leading to significant anxiety and distress that can disrupt daily functioning. Treatment options include psychotherapy, medication, and stress management techniques to help manage the anxiety associated with health concerns.

DO YOU SUFFER FROM WOKENESS?
The term Wokeness originally emerged from African American vernacular, particularly within the context of social justice movements. It signifies an awareness of social injustices, especially those related to race and inequality. As is often the case, movements that begin with constructive intent end up pushing their ideas to the extreme becoming similar to, if not worse than, those perceived as opponents. In our view, this is happening with the Woke culture, which originated by seeking to raise awareness of racism and social injustice, and is now actively promoting its own form of racism and discrimination. This process transformed Wokeness from a cure to a disease.

0: You are not suffering from Wokeness at all
1-2: You show some mild symptoms of Wokeness
3-4: You show worrying symptoms of Wokeness
5-6: You are a Wokeness Spokesperson!
Explanation of sentences
Racism was generated by white people
This statement represents a simplification not only of history and reality, but also of the human being itself. Human beings, by their very nature, tend to distrust anything that is unfamiliar to them, since we are all greatly influenced by the customs and beliefs of the place where we find ourselves. The problem arises when that sense of wariness turns, due to dual thinking, into an us vs. them mentality. This can happen to anyone and anywhere, regardless of any kind of distinction.
Personal rights and freedoms come before duties
This kind of mentality is really dangerous. Thinking that you can do and have everything without giving anything in return highlights an extremely selfish and childish attitude. The direct consequence of this is that people end up feeling free from individual and social responsibilities, losing sight of moral and ethical values that must underlie any society that desires to call itself “civilized”. Taking responsibility away from people fosters exactly the kind of mentality that Woke culture would like to eradicate, since awareness of actions taken and possible consequences is lost.
I want to be free to express my sexual orientation
Humanity has existed for thousands of years along with all forms of sexual orientation and perversion, but until a few decades ago there was no need to make them public. Wouldn’t it make more sense to demand, and before that to give, respect for everyone regardless of one’s personal preference? Obsession with personal sexual orientation ends up creating problems that once did not exist, plus it makes young people even more confused and fragile. Moreover, once again, it only emphasizes the differences between people instead of the commonalities.
Minorities should always be protected and preserved
All right, so it is enough to declare oneself part of a minority in order to be able to take any kind of reckless action without facing the consequences. Being part of a minority means nothing; what matters are the actions and motivations that drive people to do what they do. People should be made individually accountable to society, not as part of a group, whatever that group may be. No one should have privileges, while everyone should have the same rights and duties. This is true equality; everything else is just selfishness.
Black people are disadvantaged and need to be supported
If you really think that way, we have bad news for you: you are thinking in a racist way. The afterthought is that people of color are for some reason less capable than others, and therefore should be given privileges in order to compensate for their individual deficiencies. Isn’t this exactly the same thinking as the slaveholders of the past, only with a different ending? We might describe this attitude as that of modern slaveholders.
Those who belittle the demands of minorities should not be allowed to speak
So freedom of expression only exists for those who think a certain way? People who see things this way prove that they do not understand how freedom of expression works. A minority trying to impose its worldview on everyone else is a story we have seen before; this proves that history teaches, but has no pupils. It also makes us realize that the human spirit does not change despite the passing of time. As Socrates would have said, <<Let him that would move the world first move himself>>. If you prefer a more recent quote, here it is: <<Be the change you want to see in the world>>.
DO YOU SUFFER FROM ECO-ANXIETY?
