Dance Information

(Dance information by the deviser, Sue McKinnell)

The relationship between the terms "narcissisticity" and "narcissist" centers on the concepts derived from the term "narcissism". Narcissism is a psychological term describing a personality trait characterized by an exaggerated sense of self-importance, a deep need for excessive attention and admiration, a lack of empathy for others, and often a fragile self-esteem that is vulnerable to the slightest criticism.

1. Narcissist: This term refers to an individual who exhibits traits or behaviors associated with narcissism. Narcissists often prioritize their own interests and feelings above those of others and may manipulate or disregard others to achieve their goals. They tend to believe they are superior and may engage in grandiose fantasies about their success, power, or attractiveness.

2. Narcissisticity: This term isn't standard in psychological literature; however, it can be understood as a noun form that might refer to the state or quality of being narcissistic. Essentially, it's a way to describe the extent or degree of narcissistic characteristics or tendencies in a person's behavior or personality.

In essence, a "narcissist" is a person who embodies narcissism, while "narcissisticity" would conceptually refer to the level or intensity of narcissistic traits in an individual or group. However, the latter term is rarely used in professional psychology, and you are more likely to encounter terms like "narcissistic traits", "narcissistic personality disorder", or simply "narcissism" to describe these concepts.

It's also a great name for a dance!
