Narcissists and psychopaths are different beasts though.

Narcissists demand constant validation and praise, thus why I believe an F type can definitely fit the bill. It's hard to imagine a F type being a psychopath though. If they are, they must be the clueless kind in that they believe in their inner core that they're always doing the right thing, oblivious to the fact that they only act in their own self-interests and screw everyone around them. A T type psychopath however is probably devoid of any thoughts of morality. That's why I do believe psychos are probably by default TP types. Their lower Fe only serves to monitor people's reactions and act accordingly but there's not an ounce of ''I think that would hurt their feelings'' it's only about what they can get away with. I think TJ types can't really be psychopaths at least from a clinical standpoint. Fi, no matter how low and dysfunctional it may be demands moral justifications for one's actions and is self-reflective. At worst I think TJ types will be cold and domineering assholes who push and bully people around for (what they think) is a perfectly justifiable goal. But that leans more towards narcissism or just shitty people skills than anti-social behavior.

Also, I don't partake in this belief that NTJs have the potential to somehow be more evil or morally corrupt than STJs. I think this is a myth brought on by all these fictional NTJ villains we see in media, which their is an overly exaggerated abundance of. But that's only people because are lazy when it comes to writing villains. It's just easier to go for the by-the-book megalomaniac NTJ who wants to carry out his plan and step on everyone in his way, rather than a very complex, multi-layered SF villain for instance.
