Question

During an annual review, Michel Godfrey made the following assertion: "When I look at myself and my performance, I see that what I have achieved is outstanding and something no one in the organization has the capacity to undertake. Surprisingly, it has not won me the admiration of my colleagues like it should have. I also believe that I do not just deserve a raise, but need one, since without me, let's face it, the place would simply fall apart." Which of the following personality traits best describes Michel's personality? A. minimalism B. stoicism C. monasticism D. narcissism E. Machiavellianism

Answer 1

The answer is: D. Narcissism

People with narcissistic personality generally have a really exaggerated sense of self-importance, which often make them feel that other people are 'beneath' in some ways.

We can identity this personality trait from the way Michel talk about himself.

- I see that what I have achieved is outstanding and something no one in the organization has the capacity to undertake.

- also believe that I do not just deserve a raise, but need one, since without me, let's face it, the place would simply fall apart.

Those two sentences indicates that Michel felt that he is more valued/important compared to his colleagues.
