Grandiosity

In psychology, grandiosity is a sense of superiority, uniqueness, or invulnerability that is unrealistic and not based on personal capability. It may be expressed by exaggerated beliefs regarding one's abilities, the belief that few other people have anything in common with oneself, and that one can only be understood by a few, very special people. The Grandiosity section of the Diagnostic Interview for Narcissism (DIN), for instance, describes: The person exaggerates talents, capacity, and achievements in an unrealistic way. Grandiosity is also measured as part of other tests, including the Personality Assessment for DSM-5 (PID-5), Psychopathy Checklist-Revised, and diagnostic interviews for NPD. It is well documented to have associations with both positive/adaptive and negative/maladaptive outcomes, leading some researchers to question whether it is necessarily pathological. The term "narcissistic grandiosity" is sometimes used as a synonym for grandiose narcissism and other times used to refer to the subject of this article (superiority feelings). In mania, grand Curiosity is typically more pro-active and aggressive than in narcissism. The manic character may boast of future achievements: 421  or exaggerate their personal qualities.
