THE FOLLOWING IS A QUOTE FROM ESTHER’S BLOG:

“I WAS TALKING WITH A FEW PEOPLE THE OTHER DAY, AND WE WERE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT MAKES DAVID ISRAEL TICK. “

I would like to add my thoughts to answering this question.

Some of the most prevalent personality traits of a David Israel type are:

PARANOIA:

Symptoms of paranoia and paranoid disorders include intense and irrational mistrust or suspicion, which can bring on sense of rage, hatred, and betrayal.

ANTISOCIAL BEHAVIOR: 

Disregard for right and wrong

Persistent lying or deceit to exploit others

Using charm or wit to manipulate others for personal gain or for sheer personal pleasure

Intense egocentrism, sense of superiority and exhibitionism

Repeatedly violating the rights of others by the use of intimidation, dishonesty and misrepresentation

Hostility, significant irritability, agitation, impulsiveness, aggression or violence

Lack of empathy for others and lack of remorse about harming others

 Unnecessary risk-taking or dangerous behaviors

Poor or abusive relationships

Irresponsible work behavior

Failure to learn from the negative consequences of behavior

NARCISSCISM:

 Having an exaggerated sense of self-importance

Expecting to be recognized as superior even without achievements that warrant it

Exaggerating your achievements and talents

Being preoccupied with fantasies about success and  power

Believing that you are superior and can only be understood by or associate with equally special people

Requiring constant admiration

Taking advantage of others to get what you want

Having an inability or unwillingness to recognize the needs and feelings of others

SADISM:

A sadistic individual does not hesitate to humiliate people intentionally in presence of others. The shame and disgrace that he inflicts on other people makes him feel larger than life and supremely important.

He considers all people to be under his control, and treats them in an unkind and harsh manner. All that he hopes to gain is unchallenged dominance within a relationship. Anyone who attempts to break free is dealt with in a cold-hearted, callous manner.

GRANDIOSITY:

Grandiose-type symptoms include grossly exaggerated belief of:

self-worth

power

knowledge

identity

.   

SCHIZOID: Common traits of people with this disorder include the following:

They do not desire or enjoy close relationships, even with family members.

They choose solitary jobs and activities.

They take pleasure in few activities, including sex.

They have no close friends, except first-degree relatives.
