This video describes the concepts of grandiose narcissism and vulnerable narcissism. When we think about the term narcissism and mental health, we sometimes think of the personality disorder named narcissistic personality disorder (NPD). Grandiose and vulnerable types of narcissism are not part of the classification system in the DSM, so with narcissistic personality disorder we don't have a grandiose type or vulnerable type. These are just two ways to think of narcissism, but they're not directly related to the diagnosis of NPD. With grandiose and vulnerable narcissism, both of these types of narcissism would have anger and tendency to be uncooperative, a manipulation component, and being cold, antagonistic, and hostile.
In the five-factor model, we see differences between vulnerable and grandiose narcissism. Both of these types are associated with low agreeableness. Where we see differences will be the other personality traits. Grandiose narcissism is characterized by low agreeableness, but high extraversion and low neuroticism. Vulnerable narcissism has low agreeableness, low extraversion, and high neuroticism.
