Comment on Why does it seem like many Americans have an arrogant personality trait?

As an American that worked for a German company for ~10yrs, and spent a significant amount of time in Germany, I’d say many Germans have an arrogant personality trait.

I genuinely can’t tell if they’re arrogant or if they’re knowledgeable and don’t bother to hide their expertise behind false modesty. But damn do German engineers write the best Jira tickets. So much detail, precise test steps, clarity about what changes they want made. Most engineers I get frustrated with because they don’t give us enough to work with, but German engineers almost give us too much.

Why would that indicate arrogance?

The Jira thing has nothing to do with arrogance. That’s just a side note about how much I like working with Germans. 😅
