Look at this characterization of a personality:
No, this is not about a narcissist personality, not about a fascist leader (though such people may be similar to this). And this list was not compiled to describe a specific person - but if you know a person that fits this description, or even one who does not fit not perfectly, but only to high degree, you should be alarmed.
This list is from a KGB booklet on the recruiting of foreigners for that soviet agency. It describes a person who makes easier the process of specific influencing.
I heard the above in a TV documentation (German television, ZDF), the translation from German by me may be not the best one. But the meaning should be clear. The documentation is also on the ZDF mediathek:
Angriff auf Amerika
For those who know German: The part I summarized starts a 5:15.
- inappropritate self-esteem
- the wish to climb the social ladder at any cost
- disdain of people with lower status
- over-assessment of one*s wealth
- desire for success and respect
- ready to take revenge on persons or a system deprives him the opportunity to satisfy his needs
