Seriously? You're advocating the idea that a complex psychological diagnosis can be performed by a layman by asking one question? Neatorama needs to stick to pictures of Dr. Who cakes. Apparently, anything more complex is beyond your ability.

Glad I watched the video, because it isn't that simple. You have to ask something more like "on a scale of 1 to 10, how narcissistic are you?"
