Article Excerpt:
As the great Nebraskan Fred Astaire (born Frederick Austerlitz, Omaha, 1899) used to sing, "There may be trouble ahead..." An article in the latest issue of Academy of Management Learning and Education reports that over the past 25 years college students in the U.S. have scored steadily higher on tests for narcissism. Professors Bergman, Westerman and Daly note that "the mean narcissism score of 2006 college students on the Narcissistic Personality Inventory (NPI) approached that of a celebrity sample of movie stars, reality TV winners and famous musicians." Fabulous. If that weren't bad news enough, "Narcissism in Management Education" (Academy of Management Learning and Education, 2010, Vol. 9, No. 1, 119-131) also cites research indicating that "narcissistic tendencies such as materialistic values and money importance tend to be particularly evident in business students." Most studies of narcissists in business focus on their usually awful eventual effect on co-workers.
