Master Chief for example.

And we've all heard the "strong silent type" reference.

It seems the less someone says, the more respect they somehow are credited. This is not limited to a video-game character.

They are?

In real life, this is most often false. It is the arrogant loudmouth who gets most of the respect in real life.

Because they don't say stupid -blam!- that will make others disrespect them.

Chuck Liddell has that kind of weird, mohawk wearing, incoherent badass thing going. Frankie Edgar is like the nice guy down the street who helps you move in your furniture.

Because usually people who have a lot to say, don't say many intelligent things.

Probably because then, even if they speak less, it's assumed that what they do say is more meaningful.

They dont feel the need to prove their worth

Basically, if you're not one of those people who constantly have to hear the sound of their own voice, there's a good chance you're also not constantly saying things that are stupid.

Highly disagree.

Sometimes, I dream about cheese.

Silent people are usually just quiet because everyone around them is an idiot.

This and those people usually know their own self worth.
except for when they are the defeated quiet type.

It's true though. More people will respect you if you respect yourself first

What world do you live in?

It is because quiet people are seen as thinkers and intellectuals usually.

Because we hold back our opinions for the time when they matter most.

I have no respect for Halo 3: ODST's Rookie but lots of respect for Master Chief.
Your argument is invalid.

Actions speak louder. People respect those actions.
