15. "Unwilling to empathize with others' feelings, wishes, or needs."

I would rephrase that as "inability to empathize." Most psychologists say that is the #1 hallmark of a narcissist. They have a complete inability to empathize ever. It's not something they can be taught either. It's like there is an empathy gene and they were born without it.

He is the classic case of NPD.
