Napoleon Was Short
A self-conscious short person who overcompensates with an aggressive personality is said to have a Napoleon complex. The problem is, the famously short French conqueror wasn't short at all. He was measured at 5 feet, 2 inches tall — but he was measured with French inches, which are longer than English inches. He actually stood 5 feet, 7 inches — taller than the average European man at the time.
