forms of ethical egoism (Ethical egoism can be broadly divided into three categories: individual, personal, and universal. An individual ethical egoist (e.g., a person suffering from narcissistic personality disorder) would hold that all people should do whatever benefits his or her ("my", the individual) self-interest; a personal ethical egoist would hold that he or she should act in his or her self-interest, but would make no claims about what anyone else ought to do; a universal ethical egoist would argue that everyone should act in ways that are in their self-interest.
