Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Eric's description matches a narcissist, who has an exaggerated sense of self-importance and a lack of empathy for others. Aggressiveness is not necessarily related to self-perception, and low self-esteem would be the opposite of Eric's behavior. Being an optimist does not necessarily mean having an inflated view of oneself.
