Right, good classification. From the slides:

  • Does the target feel oppressed, humiliated, de-energized or belittled?

  • Does the asshole target those less powerful?

  • Everyone has a bad day sometimes. For assholes, every day is a bad day

Seems like your second definition, "someone who wants to play power and status games" is the closest.
