I would expect it to also attract unusually high percentage of narcissists .

Narcissists are usually better at seeking out situations that give them power, status and respect or at least money.

  ~1% of people through all the social classes are usually better at this, you say? I don’t think so.
  
  Narcissists seek narcissistic supply. Most find it in delusions.

    No, I didn’t. (Although now that you mention it I’d comfortably say that more than 70% of people through all the social classes are usually better at this. It’s kind of fundamental a human talent.)
