That's not at all the same thing as having high self-awareness overall
Which may well be not very well at all. Understanding people in the context of sales is not the same as understanding then generally.
Which most people do. (though actually an accurate understanding of neither physics nor people's motivations is required to get by). I was taking about the "litany of Tarsky"-esqe desire to always seek the truth, even if unpleasant and emotionally painful to learn - which Harry has and very few people generally do.
If you read a list of narcissistic traits, you will see that self-awareness, understanding others, and desire to know the truth are not there. In other words, a narcissist may or may not be self-aware, understand others, or want to know the truth.
Harry is self-aware but is also self-obsessed, understands people but is also selfish, and accurately perceives science but is also grandiose.
