There is an error in the penultimate sentence of the Grandiose and vulnerable narcissism (PNI) section. The correct sentence is: Each item is scored on a six-point scale ranging from zero (not at all like me) to six (very much like me). The coefficient alpha was 0.96 for the total score, 0.71 for the grandiose factor (including the EXP, GF, ER and SSSE subscales [13] and 0.84 for the vulnerable factor (including the CSE, HS, and DEV subscales [13].

In S1 Fig, part 1c is labelled as 1b. Please see the corrected S1 Fig here.
