A RIDDLE CAN DETERMINE IF YOU ARE –
Jan. 1, 2026 – Jacob Skidmore, who is diagnosed as a narcissist, uses social media as a way to shed light on the condition. In one of his videos, he posted an interesting riddle that he alleged can determine if someone is a psychopath or not.
Skidmore posts on TikTok under the username “The Nameless Narcissist.”
He uses his clinical diagnosis of Narcissistic Personality Disorder as an entry point to creating content about the various nuances of narcissism. He explains how he enters and experiences the world, focusing mostly on how his diagnosis affects his ability to maintain relationships.
Personality disorders are a particularly complex part of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, or DSM, published by the American Psychiatric Association. While it’s become fairly common to hear clinical terms related to personality disorders pitched around TikTok and Instagram, not everyone wielding the terms is doing so in the correct context.
A clinically diagnosed narcissist shared a riddle that can allegedly determine if you’re a psychopath.
In the TikTok post, Skidmore proclaimed, “If you can answer this riddle correctly, then it is a major sign that you’re a psychopath.” He offered a caveat about the nature of the riddle, noting that “there’s no research to validate it.” Still, he said, “If you do get it right, don’t get all in a panic. However, that being said, the only people in my life who are accurately able to answer was me, a diagnosed narcissist, and my sister, who is diagnosed with ASPD, aka sociopathy. So, take that as you will.”
