This is something a lot of people probably don't know about but can effect them dramitically. For all the psychopaths and such that make the news (Scott Peterson for example) or "news magazines" (any of the guys who have more than 4 relationships at the same time) you'll never ever hear that they have something like NPD. Really, you know to avoid the guy talking to the trees (plenty of that here in California) but what about the person who just seems overly charming?

Knowledge is power as they say.

The lack of any deepseated loyalties it's really interesting / odd to see in person. You may see their music collection and think they sure have odd or crumby taste. Or they may have pop music -- simply because that's what most people listen to, or some specific genre because they know they can easily blend in or influence those who listen to it.
