Narcissism Exists on a Spectrum
- Narcissism exists on a spectrum; few are diagnosed with Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD).
- Most people have narcissistic traits to some extent, but NPD diagnosis requires meeting criteria involving grandiosity and lack of empathy.
Grandiose Narcissists and Enneagram
- The grandiose narcissist is confident, entitled, and focused on success and power.
- This type is commonly associated with Enneagram types 3, 7, and 8, who are more assertive and power-seeking.
Characteristics of Vulnerable Narcissists
- Vulnerable narcissists appear aggrieved, anxious, and feel misunderstood, often blaming others.
- This variant is common among Enneagram types 2, 4, 6, and 9 and exhibits a more covert form of grandiosity.
