The problem is that those are not the same thing. People with NPD can be narcissistic - it is a possible indication because it's a great strategy for gaining narcissistic supply - but they are just as likely to be covert narcissists, or even be neither but still have narcissistic injury, be incapable of seen themselves and act on narcissistic rage when something in life indirectly suggests the narcissistic injury could be true. On the other hand, you can also just be an arrogant asshole without having any of those.

No, I don't mean online tests. I mean I took the MMPI 2.
I took an online IQ test once though, and I have an IQ of 142. That's pretty good right? And if I was a car, I would be a Ford Mustang. And I should live in Denver.
As for being an arrogant asshole.... Well.... Aren't these non clinical terms for NPD?
