He's not confusing talent and personality. He clearly wrote that there seems to be a correlation between the two: "people with exceptional talent also seem to have exceptionally large egos to match"

Yes, but I don't agree with that hypothesis. From what I've seen, ego tends to peak around the "above average" range where they are trying to convince everyone (including themselves?) that they are extraordinary.

The truly amazing people demonstrate it in action not words.
