Mark Van Vugt found evidence that when short males received clues that they were physically outcompete by other males, that a Napoleon complex tended to kick in. If that were true, couldn't a guy with a Napoleon complex just destroy the evidence of it by trying to outcompete another male opponent the same way? And wouldn't that make everything a little bit darker and more difficult to determine who had a Napoleon Complex and who didn't (male or female, since his study wasn't conducted on females) ?
Napoleon Complex is two words anybody can choose to describe anybody else with, regardless of their physical size, strength, ability, intelligence, or any other attribute. I can do it, you can do it, it's just talk.

Anybody can say anybody else has one, since it's not based on size, strength, ability, intelligence, or any other attributes.
Guy 1- You got a Napoleon complex man.
Guy 2- No, no, it's you that has the Napoleon complex, not me.
Guy 1- I've studied this stuff, and I assure you, it is you that has the Napoleon complex.
Guy 3- Both of you shut the fuck up, you're both idiots with small penises.

Usually these are pain in the ass man baby types that are constantly compensating for having a trump stump. Outspoken control freak with low intelligence, has a resemblance of a horse's ass.

A peronality complex that consists of power trips and false machismo to make up for short height and feelings of inferiority.
George Constanza felt inferior because of his height, but he didn't have much of a napoloeon complex.

A short person who feels inferior because of their size. They tend to take it out on other people and thrive on power trips. Shouting at others, especially when they are in a position of power, is common. Side affects include short temper, power trips/power-hungriness, anger issues, and often a bad sense of humor.
Mr. Weissman (Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School) has the biggest Napoleon Complex ever...well, almost. He's the perfect example. Ask any of his students.

Guys with small stature and penises so they try to make up for it by being an control freak asshole to everyone especially women but really in the end, all they succeed in is showing their inferiority complex. Example: Mark Phillippi
