Ego check: Kiwis and narcissism• Nine per cent of 6500 Kiwis surveyed showed traits of narcissism, with high levels of both entitlement and self-esteem. However the data also suggested around 2.4 per cent of Kiwis had both low self-esteem and low entitlement, which warranted closer analysis. Around 9 per cent had high entitlement and high self-esteem, a rate Ms Stronge did not see as concerningly high. • But 38.4 per cent of those surveyed were found to have healthy levels of self-esteem and low levels of entitlement. • The remainder generally had low levels of entitlement but differing levels of self-esteem.
