This fits with our understanding of personality disorders, which is that they are a small percentage of our society—around 10.5 percent, according to the recent DSM-5-TR.3
Idk, I consider 10% to be pretty high. If you add in selection bias, you could get an actual majority in a community having personality disorders just because the non-jerks largely self-select themselves out.
That said, I still think the conclusions here shouldn’t be taken at face value. The data was from surveys, and while I haven’t read their methodology, I would certainly hesitate to accept results of a survey for something like this (and for <10k responses). I personally find I’m more confrontational online, though I hope I’m generally still way more respectful than your common jerk.

The results are certainly interesting though.
