So, as I understand it, they're saying that someone who is (for example) a psychopath, is a lot more likely (than most people) to be narcissistic, someone who is sadistic is a lot more likely to be self-interested, and so on. This is perhaps a good thing to go out and check, but mostly this does not seem surprising to me; it would have been news if it turned out not to work like that.

Scientific exploration is to find out the truth - sometimes it is "common sense" and sometimes it is surprising.
