• They do not exchange opinions to enrich themselves. They believe that the only way to impose their point of view is by avoiding other opinions, ridiculing the other, and even intimidation.
• They do not listen. They take the opportunity to express life lessons and advice that, if followed by the other person, imply an implicit gain for themselves.

• His obsession with power and success, for pleasing others above all else, produces on many occasions a little elaborate way of approaching his work and overcoming small difficulties to improve it.
