The NPI-15 is an abbreviated version of the NPI-40 (Raskin and Hall, 1979) and measures grandiose narcissism with the two subscales Leadership (which is considered an adaptive aspect of grandiose narcissism) and Entitlement and Exhibitionism (considered as a maladaptive aspect). The German NPI-15 has a strong unrotated first factor and can thus be considered to measure a unified construct (see Spangenberg et al., 2013). Yet, we still used the two subscale scores for analysis, following recommendations of Ackerman et al. (2011) to investigate narcissism at the subscale level. The forced-choice response format was modified to a 6-point Likert scale, ranging from 1 (completely disagree) to 6 (completely agree).
