This is the last test I'll post (for now...), but the fact this one exists is really amusing and I want to see what results people get.

My results:

Quote:
Gamma males are the intellectuals or malcontents of the masculine social hierarchy. Knowledgeable in their fields of expertise but resentful of existing hierarchies, they are likely to sabotage alpha males and the male pecking order in general. Gammas are perhaps the most ‘book smart’ of all the male types, but tend to lack the social skills, money, looks or mental toughness needed to establish dominance.

Because intellect is their strength, gammas often overstress the intellectual side of life, believing that it alone should determine who makes it to the top. To gammas, it will often seem unfair that their intellectual inferiors are the ones to rise to the top. Many gammas consider themselves the ‘secret kings’ who should actually be in charge.

Since gammas are usually resentful and dissatisfied with their position, others – including women – tend to pick up on their frustration and dismiss them. This can keep gammas from realizing their full potential, leaving them in a “gamma trap.”

Gamma benefits: Intelligence, sensitivity, idealism.

Gamma drawbacks: Unsatisfied with their position, frustrated, misunderstood.

I got sigma.

Quote:
Sigma males are the lone wolves of the masculine social hierarchy. They are the men who have chosen to live outside the hierarchy. Indeed, sigmas often turn their backs on many of the norms that society expects of them. They forfeit the benefits of hierarchy in exchange for the freedom that comes from pursuing their own path.

Sigmas can be hard to cooperate with and for this reason alpha males generally don’t trust them. Bravo males sense that sigmas – while competent – are not interested in leading and therefore ignore them. On the other hand, women often find the self-determination and detachment of sigmas attractive, so sigmas are likely to do well with the opposite sex.

Sigmas are often romanticized in internet culture. However, opting out of the social order is often a high-risk play that is not guaranteed to go well. There is no denying, however, that when a sigma does manage to be successful, his lifestyle tends to come with a certain glamor and mystique.

Sigma benefits: Freedom from social obligations, enviable lifestyle.

Sigma drawbacks: Loneliness, no support network if things fail.

You are most like a sigma in the masculine social hierarchy (74.49%).

Sigma males are the lone wolves of the masculine social hierarchy.  They are the men who have chosen to live outside the hierarchy.  Indeed, sigmas often turn their backs on many of the norms that society expects of them.  They forfeit the benefits of hierarchy in exchange for the freedom that comes from pursuing their own path.

I got Gamma. Sounds about right

Gamma males are the intellectuals or malcontents of the masculine social hierarchy. Knowledgeable in their fields of expertise but resentful of existing hierarchies, they are likely to sabotage alpha males and the male pecking order in general. Gammas are perhaps the most ‘book smart’ of all the male types, but tend to lack the social skills, money, looks or mental toughness needed to establish dominance.
