Narcissists may start out popular, but people see through them in the long run

LA Times  

To build a following, narcissism works. But if, as they say in this electoral season, you’re looking to “grow your base,” exercising emotional intelligence — expressing empathy, checking your emotions in a bid to avoid conflict, and investing in personal relationships — is a strategy that beats narcissism over the long term. A new exploration of how we make friends and influence people rigorously measured the emergence of popularity in small groups — first-year college students organized into 15 study groups of about 20 in Poland. Worst off at the end of three months were students who scored low in narcissism and also low in emotional intelligence — “a particularly unfortunate combination,” the authors said. Those who scored high on narcissism and low on emotional intelligence had the advantage of a large initial following, even if their poor social skills slowed the influx of new adherents over three months.
