You must have met a jerk in your life, more than once. Despite the rich experience that most of us have, no one can accurately answer why a person is considered a \u201creal jerk\u201d. In fact, we couldn’t until recently Scientists set out to solve the puzzle and ultimately found an answer to the age-old query.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The popular science journal Collabra Psychology recently published the results of a study in which 400 people took part. Scientists asked them to think carefully and remember the “biggest jerks” they met in their lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And not just remember, but describe them in terms of the Five-Factor Personality Model. This model contains scores for measures such as extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism, and openness to experience. As a result of the survey, it turned out that the classic jerk is a middle-aged man. It is difficult to contact him due to the fact that he is aggressive and stubborn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All jerks are characterized by such character traits as self-centeredness, fanaticism, impulsiveness, and irresponsibility. When respondents recalled such people from their sad experiences, it turned out that the jerks were most often former partners or lovers, family members, and bosses. All of them had psychopathic, antisocial, and narcissistic personality disorders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Completely random people, who belonged to this caste were controversial. Some categorically did not wear medical masks during the pandemic, others rolled their eyes while talking, and still, others were passionate fans of Donald Trump. But some respondents described the real jerks, who fully justified their proud name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The article says about these people: \u201cSome of the responses were pretty brutal. We had a couple in which the person did something outright criminal.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The study showed another interesting point. It turned out that almost all idiots know well who they are. They understand that they upset everyone around, but at the same time they do not want to change anything in themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the very fact of the existence of jerks is now scientifically proven, it will not be easier for anyone. Psychologists are sure that in the foreseeable future this condition will not be considered a psychological deviation. The fact is that this term is very subjective and everyone interprets it in their own way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it cannot be said that the scientific work on the topic of jerks was meaningless. Experts believe that the study will be useful for further scientific work on how people evaluate the personality of other people and what factors influence this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
