I'm like this - my knee jerk thoughts are often quite arrogant (for example, reading a story about someone smart or attractive and immediately judging myself smarter or more attractive).

Sidenote: For most of my life I've managed to combine this over-arrogance with an outward under-confidence, which sucked.
