Looking around for a reasonably good description of the Jezebel archetype, I found this one:
http://www.propheticexplorer.com/who_is_jezebel.aspx
and I think I can agree with much/most of this description.
Again, it's an archetype, a pattern of behavior, a kind of personality.
Who is Jezebel?
IMGSpiritual Fornication
Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.
Revelation 2:20 (KJV)
In Christ's admonition to the church of Thyatira we discover that Jezebel is not just an old testament biblical figure but an archetype. The fornication she seduces men to commit is not physical, Christ's warns the church of Pergamos against physical fornication when He mentions Balaam (Revelation 2:14 KJV) who tempted the men of Israel to sleep with foreign women who served strange gods. The fornication that Jezebel seduces men to commit is clearly spiritual.
For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.
Revelation 19:2 (KJV)
Jezebel calls herself a prophetess according to the bible but she is a false prophetess. Take note that she is not referred to as an adulterer but a fornicator. This is an important distinction, because spiritually speaking although she poses as the bride of Christ in truth He will have nothing to do with her. Since there never was a relationship between this false bride and Christ she is not an adulteress, but instead seduces others into spiritual fornication with her.
How does she seduce? Through false doctrine that is pleasing to the ear. She teaches that it is works which prove our salvation, and how much money we give to her in tithes. But the bible is clear on the criteria which God judges His people on, the intents of our hearts (Jeremiah 17:10 KJV). Like all whores she tempts men to exchange pure love for a counterfeit.

The article goes on to describe the Jezebel persona as selfish and interested only in self-gratification with zero appreciation of the harm it does to others. It also talks of other traits.
I think the spiritual whoredom, spiritual fornication – leading others down false paths solely to achieve her own aims – is the key trait.
This will ring true to some, who have met people like this. It will ring true to others, who will recognize cults and social movements as embodying these same traits.
