I wouldn't put JB in the same alpha dog class with JOC or Elmer. Seems to me, JB's a bit more mellow that those guys. I see him as competitive and confident, but not into himself enough to qualify for that league. Eileen may disagree...
The ongoing feud between Elmer and JOC speaks a lot to their psychological profiles. You can throw Charlie Askins, Jr. into that mix. He and Elmer were tight, because the Sr. Askins got Elmer started as a gun writer and Charlie adored his Dad. Charlie accused JOC of blowing the whistle on Askins, Sr. As the old man became a bit senile, Jr., reportedly, was doing some ghost writing for him. Sr. was the highest paid gun writer in his day, so there was money on the table...
