The Defining characteristic of the narcissist is grandiosity. The narcissist is more likely to be attention seeking, envious and to desire admiration.

The defining characteristic of the sociopath/psychopath is callousness. The sociopath/psychopath is more likely to engage in illegal activity, to be aggressive, impulsive and deceitful.

All sociopaths are narcissistic but plain narcissists are not also sociopaths

A psychopath is more likely to use violence rather then the narcissist.

Narcissist is not as "bad" as the psychopath.

Psychopaths tend to be more manipulative, can be seen by others as more charming, lead a semblance of a normal life, and minimize risk in criminal activities. Sociopaths tend to be more erratic, rage-prone, and unable to lead as much of a normal life.

Maniacs will in general be progressively manipulative, can be seen by others as all the more beguiling, lead a similarity to a typical life, and limit hazard in crimes. Sociopaths will in general be increasingly sporadic, rage-inclined, and unfit to lead as quite a bit of a typical life.
