What are the criteria of a passenger that fits a "First Class" image?

Back to the original subject. There is no such thing as a typical F pax, just those that think they are.

And yes, there should not be any typical F pax, because there are so many varieties of F pax. And the best suggestion that I can think of for SQ agents with beige uniforms, treat the all pax who come through that the first door as who they are. Sort it out corteusly. And, make sure the check-in agent at the F lounge can have a better knowledge of computer reservation systems so that the check-in process will be swift like the regular check-in counter.
And yes, they need to have more communication skills. Not all pax likes to have a chat about business. Not all pax are businessmen/women (another assumption).

And if coathanger has selected 3F, I will kindly let him having his seat, because I know where I will be seated with the op-up given...

This is my take of a First class traveller
Wearing A Sarong yes with underwear and a Top Hat. The Sarong is laced with gold trimmings and glitter all over. As well, on the feet traditional wooden clogs from Singapore. Oops I forgot to mention a fan in the hand, fanning vigourously. This image will fit right in. ^
