This is a very interesting piece of knowledge about three common personality / developmental disorders, and how they are related. I always thought that borderline was acquired, while psychopathy and narcissism are innate: but maybe I was wrong.

  Thanks Simon, but i don’t understand how the diagram relates to issue of nature/nurture.

  It doesn’t. According another article, “familial environment” has zero influence. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23281671

  The point about this diagram is that psychopathy, narcissism and BPD are related and lie on a spectrum.

    Gotcha. I guessed a long time ago that the mental illnesses are not separate and distinct.

  This diagram makes more sense, showing the comorbidity rather than shared traits.

  So is it a Dark Triad or a Holy Trinity? Kinda hard to tell.
