Although there are different degrees and types of narcissism that share the required symptoms described in the Diagnostic Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), for years, research mainly focused on the familiar—exhibitionistic narcissists who seek the limelight. These are the boastful, grandiose narcissists who are public figures and are re...
A lesser-known type of narcissism is vulnerable narcissism (also referred to as closet, introverted, or covert narcissism). Like their grandiose kin, vulnerable narcissists are self-absorbed, entitled, exploitative, unempathetic, manipulative, and aggressive, but they fear criticism so much that they shy away from attention. Individuals of both typ...
Even more difficult to identify is the third type of narcissism. It was only named recently—communal narcissism. Communal narcissists value warmth, agreeableness, and relatedness. They see themselves and want to be seen by others as the most trustworthy and supportive person and try to achieve this through friendliness and kindness. They’re outgoin...

They find pleasure in creating chaos and taking people down. These narcissists aren’t necessarily grandiose, extroverted, or neurotic but are closely related to psych...

Using new techniques, recent studies have attempted to isolate a singular unifying trait among narcissists. Researchers examined narcissism by testing distinct personalitytraits. Two recent models emerged: One is based on personality, and the other is an integrative, transactional approach.
The Trifurcated Model shows that narcissism centers on three personality traits: agentic extraversion, disagreeableness, and neuroticism (Miller, Lynam, et al., 1917). (Agentic extraverts are authoritative and bold go-getters who pursue acclaim, achievement, and leadershippositions.) Of the Big Fivepersonality traits, disagreeableness is the only o...
Narcissists’ differing personalities express diverse qualities at various times; this model captures a fluid, functional analysis that is more representative of real life. The greater a person’s grandiosity, the lower is their vulnerability and vice versa. More entitlement and risk-takingincrease professional and interpersonal difficulties. The gre...
In sum, narcissism exists on a spectrum ranging from domineering and extraverted to introverted and neurotic. The core features of narcissism are antagonism, self-importance, and entitlement, making narcissists disagreeable, uncooperative partners and work associates. Because other personality types can be antagonistic, I prefer the Spectrum Model ...
Dec 3, 2021 · Grandiose narcissism negatively predicted criminal behavior above and beyond the influence of identity integration and self-control. In contrast, vulnerable narcissism did not have a direct significant effect on criminal behavior, but it was indirectly and positively associated with criminal behavior via identity integration and self-control.

Oct 1, 2023 · Narcissism is distinguished from psychopathy by elevated and vulnerable self-esteem and a high need for admiration from others. 16 A recent meta-analysis of 437 studies found a strong relationship between narcissism and violence, where narcissistic individuals are more likely to commit acts of violence than their non-narcissistic counterparts ...
