Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I love the office! It is one of my favorite tv shows. My job lifeguarding I have a whole cast of characters that are even more entertaining and funny. My boss is the biggest character ever he doesn't seem real: when I describe him I say he is like Michael Scott, Frank Gallagher from Shameless, and Forest Gump mixed together as a person.

Evaluate the article
I actually disagree with the article, I do not think that Michael Scott has Narcissistic Personality Disorder at all. Maybe some qualities but I think it is just his sense of humor. He's just a little immature. In the article they list the traits of narcissistic personality disorder, and Michael Scott does not have most of them. I am a psychology major too. People with narcissistic personality disorder lack empathy, but the person reacting to the article goes on to list instances where Michael shows that he does have a lot of empathy. The article could be improved if the original author explained instances where Michael showed signs of Narcissistic Personality Disorder. The article does not have a neutral tone. Both stances are heavily biased towards Michael being a narcissist or not (he is not in my opinion). The sources of the diagnosis of personality disorders are accurate. The article is well organized and has some flow. The article could be improved with more evidence showing Michael has Narcissistic Personality Disorder or Asperger's. Both diagnoses are a reach as someone who has watched the office.
