Vain people with big egos and a sense of entitlement have poorer visual memories, a study suggests.
They may struggle to remember faces and objects because of the way they focus on themselves, researchers said.
In the study, 1,435 participants were tested for levels of the ‘grandiose narcissism’ personality trait which involves pronounced self-focus, egotism, vanity, a sense of entitlement and a tendency to disregard the needs of others.
