As for the original question, I'm not too familiar with the numerous Millon subtypes, even within my own disorder. Although, if I recall, a compensatory narcissist actively uses his or her bravado to cover up underlying negative self-images (compensates), and they tend to be shy and negativistic. Personally, I thought this true of most (if not all) narcissists, so I suppose this is moreso for the compensatory narcissist, where other subtypes may show more amoral features, lack of empathy, entitlement, whorish behaviour, etcetera.
Thanks for this!
