What can I do as a jerk?

People work (as in 'function') differently. Most of us assholes were born with certain traits, and generally fall into one of those above categories.

I can relate to most of the characteristics in both of those, interesting reads.

Better to be an asshole, than a two faced jerk off. Well that's my opinion anyways.

Holy crap. Just quit trying to understand English. You fail.

He means 'I'm blunt and truthful and sometimes people get offended.' If you think that's what you posted above...again; take reading comprehension lessons.

To others, asshole doesn't mean 'ruthless money-grubbing douchebag.'

I am honest, to-the-point, and commonly offend people by being that way. I also tend to be overly-sensitive in some ways and highly empathetic. People need to quit getting their ideas about 'how people are' from one-dimensional sitcom characters.

Nope. I understood perfectly and see that as a common justification and root cause to all kinds of asshole confrontations like the one I laid out. It isn't always "Your work stinks and I'm not going to say otherwise for you to feel better."

"Money-grubbing?" I think you are the one who has a problem with reading comprehension. The scenario I showed was a typical asshole who doesn't sugar-coat it and justified the behavior as being brutally honest.

I usually see both sides demanding "respect" from each other and neither being willing to give any until they receive some. I roll my eyes the moment I hear the "r" word because that is sooo easy to avoid.

Respect is earned. Titles mean jack shit.

I'm pretty INTP, and far-leaning of all four of those traits.

Exactly, but most people demanding it from each other like that think that it's earned in conflict BY demanding it.

Respect is earned, not simply demanded and received. You can't expect others to be so submissive and you must expect that you will eventually clash with someone else just like you.

Extreme INTJ here.
