What kind of male are you?

[Tee Kay]

Are Alpha Positive and Exclusive Same-Gender Preference mutually exclusive?

Yes.

Men are born to be with women. Gays are scum.

Obviously not to be taken seriously

If you're wearing a t-shirt of che guevara, please punch yourself in the nuts.

My parents bought me one in Cuba, I wear it with pride.

The cisgendered heterosexual kind.

Also I haven't really read the thread for responses but I predict lots of people self-identifying as:

beta: Declaring yourself an "alpha" is too presumptuous and people might think you're a dick, but if you call yourself a beta can say you're above average, but with the possibility of being amazing

gamma: the circle jerking pity party is strong in this forum.

you might be pretty surprised then, don't even bother reading the first page, not a single legitimate response

As I write this, there was only one vote for Beta, and that would be me. Do you want me to defend my choice?

Here I will save you the trouble of looking for what I said:

Spoiler :

Am I the first person to give a positive answer to this post - on the second page?

Beta positive.

Potential to be alpha - Check.
Lacking willpower, direction, social opportunity or confidence - Check.
Intelligent - Extremely. Check.
Experienced - Check.
Socially inept - Check.
Overly analytical - Check.
Surrounding and looking up to Alphas - Possibly

They did not mention anything physical, so I will put that into potential. What did I accomplish today? I did 13 pullups. Later in the day I picked up a rock weighing 85kg and carried it about 50 meters. That is the same as what I weigh. Yes, I had to find out how much that rock weighed. Yesterday I ran about 10km. The day before I was deadlifting.

It means I want to be at the pinnicle of success, but am missing something. The description read like a checklist.

EDIT: Also noted, 26 votes, 13 Greek Positive, 0 Greek Negative, 13 Other. I would suspect those 13 other are Greek Negative.

 

[Kyriakos]

^False, i am Greek positive but voted Other/Tou hypnou Batraxos.

Yes, that's my point. (If people actually took this seriously, which they don't. Because it's stupid). Very few ordinary (not Kanye West) people like to say they are the best or amazing or whatever. Hubris is something that is heavily frowned upon in western culture. But people also like to feel that they're special. Beta enables one to do that. You aren't having hubris if you're settling for second best, but you can still smugly declare that you are smarter/better than everybody else. Also of course this thing falls into the same problems most of these personality tests fall into. They give you a list of qualifications and you decide what you are based on confirmation bias. And then select experiences (warped by your desire to fall into this category) and frame them in a way so as to satisfy the criteria.

The "beta positive" contains elements literally everybody feels they posses or wish they possessed. Everybody thinks they're intelligent (they won't say they're genius, but most people will say they're "above average" because of the hubris thing). Most people feel that they haven't quite achieved what they want in life. "Experienced" is a vague/relative word that basically means nothing. Everybody has social anxieties/gets nervous. Overly analytic is like the sort of thing you say at an interview when the interviewer asks you for your greatest weakness. It's like saying "sometimes I just care too much" or "I'm a perfectionist". It's something that kind of sounds like a negative but really just feeds into the "I have above-average intelligence" thing. And then at the end it says YES YOU ARE RIGHT YOU ARE AN ABOVE AVERAGE HUMAN BEING WITH THE POTENTIAL TO BE AWESOME BUT YOUR POTENTIAL HASN'T BEEN RECOGNIZED BY YOUR PEERS YET. It's literally what everybody wants to hear.

I don't think anybody has picked it yet, but I would have expected a lot of gamma+ too. It's similar to beta+ in that it says things that sound negative but really just make you out to be an above-average intelligent individual that likes to do their own thing. It gives you the benefit of being able to say "I'm better than most people" without having to actually say "I'm better than most people".

 

[ParkCungHee]

Yes.

Men are born to be with women. Gays are scum.

So you got to be trans to be Alpha Positive?

I wear it with a smirk, knowingly annoying people who hate people who seemingly wear tshirts with images of a person who they don't know much about.

It's cool to hate people who wear Che tshirts, so I don't mind wearing mine out every once in a while. It's my way of trolling reactionary idiots. But not really, I usually mostly wear it because it's clean.

 

[cybrxkhan]

If I had a Che t shirt I'd wear it because it was the first one I picked when I randomly chose one to wear that day.

So is this a long way of saying you're doing it ironically? Because it's not just "trolling" reactionary idiots; there's people who know a lot about Che and don't think he's a very nice guy to hold up and celebrate.

It's mostly my desire to wear clean tshirts, and every once in a while this one is one of the only clean ones. So I wear it. I also know that there is a lot of "people who wear Che tshirts are idiots" stuff going around, so.. I wear it with that in mind. If it was something my parents bought for me in Toronto I wouldn't wear it.. but it's from Cuba, so I go out there with the tshirt on, not caring what people think.

I don't know that much about Che to be honest, but there are far worse things people wear on their tshirts. So I don't really care, unless I'm ignorant about Che murdering millions or something. From what I understand he's not really one to celebrate, but I don't feel that's what I'm doing when I wear the tshirt around town. It's just a cool gift my parents brought me back from Cuba. If it turns out that Che was hitler, I'll stop wearing it though.

28 now, 14 Greek pos, 14 other. Who would've thought the negatives were so reclusive?

 

[SS-18 ICBM]

Gamma positive without the creativity.

 

[BenitoChavez]

I think this should be more of a spectrum rather than 10 separate categories. I see parts of delta positive, beta positive, and beta negative in myself, sometimes displaying one category more than the others.

 

[shadowplay]

I think it's interesting no one has chosen any of the "negative" yet.

From the descriptions given, I think I'm most like a delta positive, with some traits of the gamma negative thrown in.

Let's have some fun with this!

Alpha Negatives: They cannot check in because they are in prison.
Beta Negatives: They checked in as Alpha Positives.
Gamma Negatives: They are the ones saying this test is irrelevant.

I see the question as a matter of where I am relative to where I should be. Why aren't the women crawling all over me?

 

[Gori the Grey]

That's what I've always liked about this forum. Everyone is so positive.

 

[Chukchi Husky]

I think the one I'm closest to is Omega Positive. I have no skills or talents, barely go outside, almost never talk to anyone, always get in the way and I get everything wrong.

 

[Tahuti]

Beta Negatives: They checked in as Alpha Positives.

Okay, I was being unnecessarily cocky here. Beta Positive it is.
