There are 3 Types of Arrogance [Archive.org URL]

Researchers have created a new way to classify arrogance on different levels across a spectrum.

The team acknowledges everyone seems to have some degree of arrogance, so in addition to the literature review, the researchers suggest a way to classify the different levels of arrogance a person could exhibit.

The team devised a system that identifies three types of arrogance:

  • Individual arrogance—an inflated opinion of one’s own abilities, traits, or accomplishments compared to the truth.
  • Comparative arrogance—an inflated ranking of one’s own abilities, traits, or accomplishments compared to other people.
  • Antagonistic arrogance—the denigration of others based on an assumption of superiority.
A pyramid shows the three types of arrogance as parts of a pyramid containing different behaviors. Individual arrogance consists of distorted information and limitations in abilities, overestimation of one's information and abilities, and resistance to new information about one's limits. Comparative arrogance consists of a failure to consider the perspectives of others, and belief or assumption of superiority. Antagonistic arrogance consists of the denigration of others.
