Ah! You’re probably referring to a fun, visual “cups” test” some social media or psychology pages use to gauge narcissistic tendencies. It’s more of a lighthearted personality prompt than a clinically validated test. Here’s how it usually works:
Narcissist “Cups” Test (Simplified Version)
- Imagine you have 5 cups in front of you.
- Each cup can be placed upside down, sideways, or upright.
- Intuition step:
- Without overthinking, arrange the cups in the way that feels “right” to you.
- Interpretation (general guidelines):
- All upright cups → You tend to be self-focused but stable, possibly a confident or ambitious personality.
- Some sideways or upside down cups → You might prioritize others or balance attention, less narcissistic.
- All upside down cups → Could indicate self-protective or closed-off tendencies, sometimes associated with insecurity.
- Extra insight:
- Some variations ask you to imagine filling cups with water; the amount you “pour” into each can hint at how much you value yourself vs others.
- Again, this is for fun, not a diagnostic tool.
💡 Important: Real narcissistic personality traits are diagnosed via clinical assessment, like the Narcissistic Personality Inventory (NPI) or evaluation by a mental health professional. These cup tests are just playful ways to reflect on tendencies, not actual diagnosis.
If you want, I can make a step-by-step interactive “cups” version you can try right now to see what your result might suggest. Do you want me to do that?
