The Narcissistic Personality Inventory-16 (NPI-16) is a shortened form of the NPI-40 for measuring subclinical narcissism. When situations do not allow the longer 40-item version, this 16-item version is used. Notably, the NPI-16 has been shown to have meaningful face, discriminant, internal and predicative validity.
Daniel Ames, Paul Rose, & Cameron P. Anderson (2006).
α = .72; mean inter-item correlation = .13; loadings on the first unrotated factor ranged from .13 to .66 with the first factor capturing 19.9 percent of variance; correlated with the NPI-40 at r = .90 (p < .001)
