Ah, this one I got right, I think. Your discription of NPD does feel uncomfortably close to home for me, allowing that there is a continuum. I would argue that a "High" rating for me seems inflated. To add to your definition, in a succinct way, on Wikipedia there's an entry for NPD:
"Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) is a personality disorder that is characterized by extreme feelings of self-importance, a high need for admiration, and a lack of empathy. NPD can be considered as a pathological form of narcissism."
