'Cares nothing for others' is but one criterion and it's common to both aberrant personalities. A psychopath doesn't care about others, but doesn't require the adoration and attention of others. A stealthy serial killer is a psychopath but not a narcissist.

Many narcissists steal, but not all thieves are narcissists.

While all narcissists may be psychopaths, not all psychopaths are narcissists. The notion of a 'benign' or 'situationally acquired' narcissism is controversial in the mental health community. Consider a rock star or actor whose fame has gone to his head. Is being obnoxious psychopathic?

Hmmm ... They are not being careful in making their observations.

A Sociopath cares ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about other people - the very definition of 'narcissism'. A true sociopath, however, can hide their self-centeredness quite effectively - and many can function well in society (without being caught) because they are pretty damned 'intelligent' at being sociopaths - excellent lying skills is one hallmark of a true sociopath.
