30 characteristics of the perverse narcissistic individual

Because one informed gifted person is worth two!

I’ve created Suivez le zèbre for two reasons:
– Firstly, I had just discovered that I wasgiftedand I was a bitconfused, so I felt the need to talk about it.
– Secondly, j’ I had been confronted several times with narcissitics pervertspersonnalitiesand I wanted to understand why I tended to be fascinated by this type of profile.

The need to understand everything

And here again, I needed to understand my relationship with this manipulative person and why gifted people and narcissistic perverts are attracted to each other.

When I don’t understand, I search. I searched and came across several specialists. I made a list of books to read about NPs: HERE (if you want more information).

In these specialists, I discovered Isabelle Nazare-Aga. She is the one who made the famous list of the 30 characteristics of the narcissistic pervert

Discover the 30 characteristics of the narcissistic pervert personality

Isabelle Nazare-Aga drew up 30 characteristics of the narcissistic pervert. She published this list in 1997 following her research on manipulators. This list applies to both men and women.

Why this list of characteristics of manipulation?

The purpose of this list is to help people who have doubts about the person they are dealing with, whether in a romantic relationship, a friendship or at work.

If you find at least 14 criteria out of the 30 characteristics that make you think of the person in question, he or she is indeed a manipulator.

If you score more than 20 out of the 30 characteristics, you are probably dealing with a narcissistic pervert.

High Learning Potentials and Narcissistic Perverts

As gifted people, we are particularly attracted to this kind of toxic personality. This is why I strongly emphasise the relationship between us, the gifted, the high potential, the zebra and them, the manipulators and narcissistic perverts.

To understand the link between gifted (zebras) and narcissistic perverts, it’s here! 🙂

With this list, when in doubt, I urge you to distance yourself from people with more than half of these characteristics.

Here is the famous list by Isabelle Nazare-Aga.

List of the 30 characteristics of the narcissistic pervert profile:

It is not necessarily obvious at first sight to recognise one’s spouse, husband, wife, partner, boyfriend, girlfriend in these characteristics… We tend to be in denial.
Read it calmly, then try to take a step back. You can come back to it later.
When you come back to it, tick off the sentences that make you think of the manipulative person.

The list point by point.

For more information on narcissistic perverts, I propose several articles on the blog and a dedicated chapter in the book which makes the link between zebra profiles and manipulators.

You can also find more information, resources and tools on High Potential in Mel POINAS‘ book . With a lot of humor, Mel tells the story of the discovery of her High Potential and the routines she put in place to finally find her place!
