Are You an Alpha or a Beta Male? Take Our 20-Question Quiz and Find Out
The problem with defining whether you’re an Alpha or a Beta male is that everybody wants to be an Alpha and we’re great at lying to ourselves. Either we fudge the answers or try to make being Alpha unobtainable (Alphas? That’s guys like Chuck Norris, James Mattis or The Rock) so we don’t feel bad about missing the mark. So, let’s make it a little more objective with this quiz. Answer as honestly as you can and this will let you know where you really stand.
1) Are you more of a leader or a follower? Have you taken a group of people somewhere, even if it’s out to dinner? Are there people looking to you when it’s time to make a decision?
A) Leader
B) Follower
2) Do you prefer to let other people make choices for you? Do you have trouble making decisions? Would you feel uncomfortable making a decision that could have big consequences for your life?
A) No
B) Yes
