  They didn’t use the self-reported narcissists for the study, though. They were only used for training the model, which was then used to identify narcissist from a different set of Twitter “leaders” that they chose from Crunchbase: > Using an initial database of organizational leaders and employees, provided by Crunchbase (crunchbase.com), we randomly selected 500 highly active leaders on Twitter, and downloaded their public Twitter profile data. They trained the model on one demographic (readers of a psychology magazine) and then applied it to a different demographic (public faces of startups) and assumed that the model was equally accurate for this entirely different demographic.
