What is deformation? By Owais Khattak 8:13:00 PM The term deformation is, like several other structural geology terms, used in different ways by different people and under different circumstances. In most cases, particularly in the ï¬eld, the term refers to the distortion (strain) that is expressed in a (deformed) rock. This is also what the word literally means: a change in form or shape.
1. the principles of government set forth in The Prince by Machiavelli, in which political expediency is exalted above morality and the use of er aft and deceit to maintain authority or to effectuate policy is recommended.

Traits such as callousness and lack of empathy are common to all of them, and someone can be a narcissist who is also sadistic, or a sociopath who is also Machiavellian, etc. The bottom line is that although the terms narcissist and sociopath are in our common vernacular, there are important differences between them. That said, they are not mutually exclusive.
