Question Superiority/Inferiority

Can someone fluent in German tell me what word(s) Adler uses for the "goal of fictional superiorty" in German, please? I think the inferiority feeling is usually "Minderwertigkeit". German is so precise that I think it would help to know what terms he does use. Perhaps a German speaking person with good linguistic skill in English would be kind enough to try and flesh out more of the connotation of his term. The inferiority feeling in German, feels " much more down" than our English "equivalent" term usually indicates as I understand German. To me, Minderwertigkeit, has a sadder feeling than "inferiorty feeling" in English. Any comments would be appreciated. English may be OK for science, but for precise communication, it leaves a lot to be desired.
