And http://www.toad.net/~arcturus/dd/narc.htm
and under the section Personality Disorders on http://www.mentalhealth.com/
and http://www.ippnj.org/mcwilliams1.html

This is actually a borderline personality disorder web site, but I find that these personality disorders often overlap. And not to forget I met my ex N boyfriend there - who was pretending to me a grieving Non in order to get as much narcissistic supply as possible :wink:

The article defines different narcissistic types.
Recently came across this one, too :
http://imiuru.com/Narcissism_101/IntroductionNarcissism.html
which led me to this on how to 'interact effectively with narcissistic forces' (!)

a more select forum:):
Narcissism is a somewhat less severe form of psychopathy. It manifests aggressive, paranoid, and borderline characteristics, but more commonly appears in the form of envy, greed, power lust, an extensively rationalized sense of entitlement, and a pathological grandiose self. Unlike psychopaths, narcissists can experience loyalty and guilt; but like psychopaths, narcissists lack empathy or caring for others, viewing people as "playthings" to be used. Female narcissists tend to be the kind that "sleep" their way to the top; male narcissists tend to get ahead by becoming involved in massive power struggles. Psychologists suspect that the cause of narcissism is severe mental or physical pain in childhood at the hands of a powerful, idealized mother-father figure. Inconsistent parental attitudes on aggression and self-assertion as well as childhood experiences of being valued for specific, precocious talents seem to be the prime determinants. They never learned who to identify with -- the aggressor or victim, and they developed a pragmatic philosophy of siding with winners, regardless of who was in the right or wrong. In fact, they believe that the "good" is usually changeable and fickle while "bad" is stable and predictable. They live life by idealizing those who satisfy their narcissistic needs and systematically devaluing and denigrating those who do not. Underneath their superficial charm, they feel they have a right to control, manipulate, exploit, and be cruel to others.
