Do you have a narcissistic mother?
Eighteen statements about your mother. Answer honestly — nothing you enter leaves your browser.
This is a reflection tool, not a diagnosis. With a parent there is often no "before" — the dynamic was the water you swam in. This quiz helps you see the pattern clearly, perhaps for the first time.
I work with many Indian and diaspora clients where "respect your elders" ends the conversation. Questioning your mother is not disloyalty. If several statements feel uncomfortably familiar, that is worth taking seriously.
- 18 statements, about 4 minutes
- You get a personalised first aid plan — what to do, what not to do
- Nothing is saved or sent — your answers stay on this page
