Arrogance is the display of behavior that observers interpret as an excessive sense of self-importance. Arrogant people may claim more knowledge or skills beyond what is evident. They disregard others' opinions unless they agree--in short, people with a high level of arrogance demonstrate considerable disrespect.
Arrogance is a trait people dislike in many cultures. As such, people high in arrogance can find themselves left out of social gatherings.
Russell E. Johnson and his colleagues reviewed the literature on arrogance and created a scale to measure it in the workplace. They suspected arrogance was related to narcissism using the WARS scale and found mixed results.
Here are quotes from their article.
"WARS scores were positively related to dominance, anger, superiority, prevention-oriented motivation, and psychological strain, and negatively related to Agreeableness and humility.We also found that arrogance did not overlap with other widespread personality-based variables (e.g., Conscientiousness)." p. 422
"...arrogance was positively related to some facets of narcissism, such as entitlement, but negatively related and unrelated to others, such as self-sufficiency and authority, respectively." p. 422
