For a start, a practicing psychologist would never say "I am good at reading people" because "several people have told me". Your body of work through your career would offer more validty, including any clinical studies you have undertaken, than what people have told you. All the terrible singers on American Idol were there because "several people told" them they were good.

Knowing that you studied a psychology degree has shocked me because frankly you should have learned (one of the first things) about analyzing people from distance and making conclusions upon it. For those who haven't studied psychology, that's a big no-no, day 1, standard of the science.

Theories are interesting and debatable, but conclusions and accusations are not. For example, I can say Jon actually displays very few narcissistic traits outside of the norm, especially when considering the life he has had. Trump does display many traits. So, I could theorize that one is a narcissit and the other isn't, but I would never betray my studies and career by arguing in definitive terms about it or even going on record with any meangingful opinion either way.

Another thing a good psychologist never does is presume their insight is supreme. That's how patients become worse, by the psycologist programming instead of guiding. You offered your degree as if that gives your opinion weight over someone else's. If we had all sat down with Jon in-depth then yes, your training would presumably allow you to make more accurate and lasting conclusions. As we have not, the people without psychology degrees are actually showing you up by displaying more grasp on the subject matter being discussed.

Also, you can only really be full narcissit or not, there's no middle ground. You either have a disorder or you don't. That does not mean people cannot have traits, but there is either a diagnosis or not. So Jon either is a narcissit or isn't, so your excuse of "I said he was not full narcissist" holds no weight. (And yes, I am ignoring the fact there are numerous levels of narcissim, each which would require the patient to be studied).

Finally, you're 100% correct, saying he is neurotic is also wild speculation with no foundational fact.
