The narcissist smile test assesses whether someone's smile is genuine or a tactic to mask underlying intentions. A genuine smile (Duchenne smile) involves the eyes, with crow's feet and eye sparkle. A narcissist's smile often appears forced, with only the mouth involved. Look for exaggerated expressions or smiles that seem disconnected from true happiness. This test helps identify narcissistic behavior, aiding in social and professional interactions.
