A further refinement of earlier NPI versions developed by Raskin and Hall containing 80 and 54 items, respectively, the shortened Narcissistic Personality Inventory-40 (NPI-40) was subjected to three different studies by it’s authors in 1988 to analyze it’s construct validity, and has been used and examined in many studies to date. Daniel Ames developed the NPI-16, a further shortened version based on the NPI-40.
