I agree. At one of my previous employers, managers loved to casually mention the CEO's name in conversation and in emails in order to not only sound more authoritative and in-the-know, but also nip any disagreements in the bud. The CEO wasn't a narcissist at all, but if this study was conducted there they would inevitably be labeled as such.

There is a definitive movie scene for that -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_KXbKa2crI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_KXbKa2crI :) The punchline is around the 1:05 mark. I believe that set a record for fewest minutes on screen in an Oscar-winning role. (Judi Dench as Queen Elizabeth in Shakespeare in Love.)
