The label is an efficient way of describing someone with most of or all of these traits. If your computer is memory-limited, storing the label "narcissist" may be more efficient than storing answers to all of a list of questions.

Someone who shows these traits will probably continue to show these traits. Additionally, someone who shows most of these traits probably shows the other traits as well.
