Hallo Harald. Indeed, it clearly correlates with narcissism. As to how frequent the phenomenon is, I wanted to know that myself but was unable to shake it out of the statistics in the paper.

Seems to beg a definitional question. Are they beliefs if you don’t ‘think they are superior’? You may easily acknowledge possible inferiority of opinions. But beliefs? You’d not hold them if you did not think they were ‘true’. Logically you’d seek to replace them with superior

That is extremely weird. Why isn't it 100%? Beliefs, attitudes and viewpoints are things we generally think we can change. So why would anyone cling on to any of them if they thought them inferior?

My brain, body, skills, culture, habits and so on - the less malleable characteristics that it still makes sense to rank - are readily capable of being worse than other people's. But if I hold my belief to be inferior (wrong), how could I not abandon it for the better one?

Tweeted by a human with a Y chromosome whose belief is a Y chromosome makes humans defective.

Everything is a give and a take. You need people with a "superiority complex" in their beliefs. It's what makes people confident leaders, and it's why most leaders are men because they're the only ones willing to take initiative and not pussy-foot around in indecision.
