I'm not saying they have NPD, just that they might have more characteristics that are considered to be narcissistic. I also wonder how empathy fits into all of this, and how much empathy they are able to feel for others.

In appearance yes in functioning no.
I took the narcissistic part of the longer test. I am dismissive at times but I don't have hardly any narcissistic traits. (It wasn't hard to determine which ones were narcissistic and which ones weren't)
I think there is danger in making such a correlation. Err, well there may be a correlation but it's not a given for everyone in this range. Yes I can be VERY dismissive and such but narcissism is about the extremes one goes to in order to avoid feelings of inferiority. I have the inferiority bit but my handling of it is pretty much 180 degrees away from narcissism.
