    Superiority

    Explanation:

    Alfred Adler identified that humans naturally develop inferiority right from their early days. He stated that each human desires to overcome this inferiority and assume superiority.

    Inferiority as a personality trait is characterized by insecurities, low confidence level and self criticism. Here, the person develops self doubts and considers others as supreme to him/her w. r. t capabilities.

    Superiority on the other hand is exactly the opposite characterized by patronizing, arrogance, carrying an inflated opinion of oneself and considering others weaker.

    As per Adler, individuals react to their inferiority in multiple ways. Some would work upon their weaknesses to overcome it and gradually develop superiority while others adopt compensatory course of action wherein they focus on their strengths in order to compensate for weaknesses.

    In the given case, an individual who was mocked and rediculed for her fashion sense and choices gradually went on to overcome the weakness and recommend latest fashion trends to her friends. Also she has started backing her ability i. e defending it strongly.

    As per Adler, the woman has developed the trait of "Superiority".
