Right on! I can personally attest to all of this.

assert loud != confident
assert loud != constuctively assertive
assert loud != smart
assert loud != competent
assert loud == loud

You have to evaluate confident, smart, competent, and constructively assertive on a person-by-person basis. I've known people who qualified as such; some were quiet, some were heavily type A...but none of them made a habitual nuisance of themselves.

In other words, Don't Promote Loud Howard.
