I see. I don't know the details of your behavior. But something has made you curious about pds or npd in particular? Maybe that you were told that your behaviors are "characterological"?

That is admirable. My brother in-law would fly into a rage if anyone ever suggested it; typical but not the only reaction, suggesting no insight whatsoever. One reason pds can take so long to diagnose is that the individual is often a master at maniputation, especially in reporting details to the therapist. That's true with this guy.

I have the DSM IV, if you would like to inquire about the charactersistics of any one of the pds. If you feel comfortable revealing details of the behavior, I would be glad to share those with you. I have noticed the some websites have some criteria that isn't consistent with the DSM.
