Materials and methods: In a survey study, 500 people from Shahin Shahr, Isfahan, were randomly selected using stratified sampling. They were assessed by Narcissistic Personality Inventory-40 (NPI-40), NEO personality scale and Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory-II. Concurrent validity of the NPI was studied through correlational analysis with the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory-II (MCMI-II).

Results: In exploratory factor analysis (Promax rotation) three components were extracted including ................. .Significant correlation was found between the MCMI-II and NPI-40. Also, Test- Retest reliability coefficient and internal consistence of the scales were estimated to be 0.81 and 0.82, respectively.
