What is a key characteristic of Narcissistic Personality Disorder?

  1. Exaggerated sense of self-importance

  2. Avoidance of social events

  3. Dependent and submissive behavior

  4. Impulsive and irresponsible behavior

The correct answer is: Exaggerated sense of self-importance

Narcissistic Personality Disorder is a condition where individuals have an inflated sense of self-importance and a deep need for admiration. This is often accompanied by a lack of empathy for others and a preoccupation with personal success or power. The key characteristic of this disorder is an exaggerated sense of self-importance, making option A the correct answer. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not align with the defining features of Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Avoidance of social events, dependent and submissive behavior, and impulsive and irresponsible behavior are not necessarily associated with this disorder.
