The prevalence of schizotypal personality disorder is estimated to range from 0.6% to 5.1%, with a median rate of about 3% of the nonclinical population.

Not all Christians believe the Holy Spirit is one.

Is it possible for someone to exhibit a majority of the symptoms of narcissistic personality disorder yet not have the condition?
Since narcissistic personality disorder is diagnosed symptomatically, a person with that disorder would exhibit a number of the symptoms. Given the nature of the symptoms, a person showing a majority of them would almost certainly be diagnosed. Note: Diagnosis of emotional issues in people close to us is fraught with chances for misinterpretation. We are too emotionally involved ourselves to make careful, objective assessments. Only a series of interviews with a mental health professional would result in an truly accurate diagnosis. (That is not to say that you are incorrect.)
