7) Is devoid of empathy. He can complain and whine for hours about all of his problems, real and imagined but when you need to talk about your constantly undermining coworker or sick relative, suddenly he is busy or maybe just returns a blank stare and a "Oh I'm sure it will be fine." kind of remark. Anyway, don't bore him, he has really important things on his mind!

8) Tends to be envious of others or believes others are envious of him/her. He may think no one else deserves a high-paying job, flashy material possessions or hot wife and will not hesitate to announce this and compare otheres unfavorably against himself, as he is clearly is more deserving of these "rewards."

9) Displays arrogant and haughty behavior. Thinks he's better than everyone, displays a marked disinterest in anything not directly related to or helpful to him, including your friends and family and interests. Struts around like he's the cock of the walk, speaks in a loud, broadcasting voice so everyone hears everything he says, obsesses over appearance, you get the idea.
