Identifying narcissistic sociopaths
Although not all narcissists are sociopaths, all sociopaths are
narcissists (Stout 2010). Therefore, if you can identify a narcissist,
you’re one step closer to being able to recognize a sociopath. Below
is a definition of narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) and a list
of narcissistic traits taken directly from the website of Dr. Sam
Vaknin, author of Malignant Self-Love. (If you know someone who fits
at least 5 or more of these traits, a psychiatrist could easily
diagnose him/her as having NPD.)
The DSM-IV-TR defines Narcissistic Personality Disorder as “an
all-pervasive pattern of grandiosity (in fantasy or behavior), need
for admiration or adulation and lack of empathy, usually beginning by
early adulthood and present in various contexts,” such as family life
and work.
1. Feels grandiose and self-important (e.g., exaggerates
accomplishments, talents, skills, contacts, and personality traits to
the point of lying, demands to be recognized as superior without
commensurate achievements);
2. Is obsessed with fantasies of unlimited success, fame, fearsome
power or omnipotence, unequalled brilliance (the cerebral narcissist),
bodily beauty or sexual performance (the somatic narcissist), or
ideal, everlasting, all-conquering love or passion;
3. Firmly convinced that he or she is unique and, being special, can
only be understood by, should only be treated by, or associate with,
other special or unique, or high-status people (or institutions);
4. Requires excessive admiration, adulation, attention and affirmation
– or, failing that, wishes to be feared and to be notorious
(Narcissistic Supply);
5. Feels entitled. Demands automatic and full compliance with his or
her unreasonable expectations for special and favorable priority
treatment;
6. Is “interpersonally exploitative”, i.e., uses others to achieve his
or her own ends;
7. Devoid of empathy. Is unable or unwilling to identify with,
acknowledge, or accept the feelings, needs, preferences, priorities,
and choices of others;
8. Constantly envious of others and seeks to hurt or destroy the
objects of his or her frustration. Suffers from persecutory (paranoid)
delusions as he or she believes that they feel the same about him or
her and are likely to act similarly;
9. Behaves arrogantly and haughtily. Feels superior, omnipotent,
omniscient, invincible, immune, “above the law”, and omnipresent
(magical thinking). Rages when frustrated, contradicted, or confronted
by people he or she considers inferior to him or her and unworthy
(

Once it’s clear you’re dealing with a narcissist, go through the
following list to see if the narcissist is also a sociopath. (You’ll
discover many overlapping traits from each list.) The list below of 20
sociopathic traits is taken directly from the book Without Conscience:
The Disturbing World of the Psychopaths Among Us by Dr. Robert D.
Hare, Ph.D:
1. Glib and superficial charm. The tendency to be smooth, engaging,
charming, slick, and verbally facile. Sociopathic charm is not in the
least shy, self-conscious, or afraid to say anything. A sociopath
never gets tongue-tied. They have freed themselves from the social
conventions about taking turns in talking, for example.
2. Grandiose self-worth. A grossly inflated view of one’s abilities
and self-worth, self-assured, opinionated, cocky, a braggart.
Sociopaths are arrogant people who believe they are superior human
beings.
3. Need for stimulation or proneness to boredom. An excessive need for
novel, thrilling, and exciting stimulation; taking chances and doing
things that are risky. Sociopaths often have low self-discipline in
carrying tasks through to completion because they get bored easily.
They fail to work at the same job for any length of time, for example,
or to finish tasks that they consider dull or routine.
4. Pathological lying. Can be moderate or high; in moderate form, they
will be shrewd, crafty, cunning, sly, and clever; in extreme form,
they will be deceptive, deceitful, underhanded, unscrupulous,
manipulative, and dishonest.
5. Conning and manipulative. The use of deceit and deception to cheat,
con, or defraud others for personal gain; distinguished from Item #4
in the degree to which exploitation and callous ruthlessness is
present, as reflected in a lack of concern for the feelings and
suffering of one’s victims.
6. Lack of remorse or guilt. A lack of feelings or concern for the
losses, pain, and suffering of victims; a tendency to be unconcerned,
dispassionate, coldhearted, and unempathic. This item is usually
demonstrated by a disdain for one’s victims.
7. Shallow affect. Emotional poverty or a limited range or depth of
feelings; interpersonal coldness in spite of signs of open
gregariousness.
8. Callousness and lack of empathy. A lack of feelings toward people
in general; cold, contemptuous, inconsiderate, and tactless.
9. Parasitic lifestyle. An intentional, manipulative, selfish, and
exploitative financial dependence on others as reflected in a lack of
motivation, low self-discipline, and inability to begin or complete
responsibilities.
10. Poor behavioral controls. Expressions of irritability, annoyance,
impatience, threats, aggression, and verbal abuse; inadequate control
of anger and temper; acting hastily.
11. Promiscuous sexual behavior. A variety of brief, superficial
relations, numerous affairs, and an indiscriminate selection of sexual
partners; the maintenance of several relationships at the same time; a
history of attempts to sexually coerce others into sexual activity or
taking great pride at discussing sexual exploits or conquests.
12. Early behavior problems. A variety of behaviors prior to age 13,
including lying, theft, cheating, vandalism, bullying, sexual
activity, fire-setting, glue-sniffing, alcohol use, and running away
from home.
13. Lack of realistic, long-term goals. An inability or persistent
failure to develop and execute long-term plans and goals; a nomadic
existence, aimless, lacking direction in life.
14. Impulsivity. The occurrence of behaviors that are unpremeditated
and lack reflection or planning; inability to resist temptation,
frustrations, and urges; a lack of deliberation without considering
the consequences; foolhardy, rash, unpredictable, erratic, and
reckless.
15. Irresponsibility. Repeated failure to fulfill or honor obligations
and commitments; such as not paying bills, defaulting on loans,
performing sloppy work, being absent or late to work, failing to honor
contractual agreements.
16. Failure to accept responsibility for own actions. A failure to
accept responsibility for one’s actions reflected in low
conscientiousness, an absence of dutifulness, antagonistic
manipulation, denial of responsibility, and an effort to manipulate
others through this denial.
17. Many short-term marital relationships. A lack of commitment to a
long-term relationship reflected in inconsistent, undependable, and
unreliable commitments in life, including marital.
18. Juvenile delinquency. Behavior problems between the ages of 13-18;
mostly behaviors that are crimes or clearly involve aspects of
antagonism, exploitation, aggression, manipulation, or a callous,
ruthless tough-mindedness.
19. Revocation of condition release. A revocation of probation or
other conditional release due to technical violations, such as
carelessness, low deliberation, or failing to appear.
20. Criminal versatility. A diversity of types of criminal offenses,
regardless if the person has been arrested or convicted for them;
taking great pride at getting away with crimes. (Hare 2011).
In addition to the above two lists of traits, the biggest trait (or
magic trick as I like to call it) that makes narcissistic sociopaths
so dangerous and effective is their ability to go unnoticed by the
rest of us. They can do this, because they are good at pretending
(lying) and wearing many masks (again, lying). Simply put, they lie to
themselves and everyone else. They lie so much that some of them are
convinced of their own lies, which is where evil is born.
