In young groups, significant differences in accuracy were observed between topological change and no-shape-change (all <i>p</i> < .05) in bipolar disorder (BD) and schizophrenia (SCZ) at different sequence values, and non-topological change was noted between the other two conditions when the size of the test graphic set in 3 in chronic-SCZ (<i>p</i>_3-same = .000/<i>p</i>_3-non-topo = .003). The accuracy of the no-shape-change in depression differed from that of topological change when the size of the test graphic was set at 4 (<i>p</i> = .002).

However, there has been limited testing of measurement invariance (MI) in narcissism measures, especially multifaceted ones, across clinical and nonclinical groups. This study examined whether the FFNI-SF operates equivalently across individuals with and without a psychological treatment history. Using exploratory structural equation modeling (ESEM), we tested MI at four levels-configural, metric, scalar, and residual-in 473 community participants, 36% of whom had a psychological treatment history, current and/or lifetime. Results indicated scalar and residual invariance, suggesting that the FFNI-SF is valid for comparing narcissism traits at both the latent and observed score levels between treatment history groups. Latent mean comparisons revealed that individuals with a treatment history scored significantly lower on antagonism and higher on neuroticism compared to those without a treatment history.
