Male Personalities

We now live in a world where everything is in a category, has a percentage and is a descriptor for behavior. That includes types of male personalities. By typing men's personalities, it makes it clear to themselves and to others who they are and why they behave as they do. Here is an opportunity for you to think about the men in your life and what personality type they are.    

Alpha Males are strong-willed leaders who love to take charge. They are known for their natural confidence and exceptional leadership abilities. Alphas know what they want, never back down from a fight and aren't afraid of making waves to get it. Their personality is one of brave, high-achieving and sociable. Careers they excel at are CEO, manager, military general and politician. Alpha males are always at the top of the pyramid. Although at the top, they place third in overall number of males at 24%.

Beta Males are extremely kind and down to earth. They are shyer and more reserved, valuing personal relationships over material wealth or career achievements. Often associated with happy, long-term marriages and children that adore them. Their personality traits consist of, friendly, gentle and selfless. Careers they excel at are doctor, nurse, social worker or teacher. Beta males have a higher percentage than alpha with 26% of the male population. 

Gamma Males are the life of the party. Gamma males are the largest population of males at 34%. They are creative and adventurous and are often portrayed as fun-loving men of culture. They love to travel and believe their purpose in life is to have fun and fulfil their experiences. Constantly on the move and can create powerful friendships wherever they go. Personality traits are adventurous, fun-loving and goofy. Careers they excel at are event coordinator, pilot, travel agent. 

Delta Males are very responsible and keep the world moving. They are described as highly adaptable and are known for their competence and work ethic. They love to learn new things; they have a very healthy work-life balance. They are dependable and unpretentious. Everyone benefits from having a friend that is a delta male because they are so hardworking, loyal and responsible. Careers they excel at are accountant, dentist, engineer or firefighter. They sit at the bottom of the pyramid.

Zeta Males are one-of-a-kind progressive. They are the least talked about in personality typing. They're rare nonconformists who don't care what other people think. They know themselves and refuse to change to fit into the rigid social standards of society. These types of males are fierce creatives who blasts new paths for themselves and others. Their personality is one of creative, independent, self-aware. The careers they excel in are acting, artist, musician and writer. Zeta males are very happy not to even be included in a pyramid. 

Sigma Males are confident mentors who play by their own rules. They have the same confidence as alphas, but they aren't interested in power or social status. They follow their own moral compass and help others to discover their own inner power. They have respect for their peers because of their wit, intuition, and sense of persuasion. Their personalities are bold, nurturing and wise. They excel as an entrepreneur, professor or therapist. There are only 6% of males that are Sigma. They are also happy not to be put on a pyramid, although when they are they sit next to or at the same level as the Alpha male.  

Omega Males are skilled introverts. They are independent and very comfortable in their own company. They would rather spend their time coming up with new ideas and inventions of their own instead of socializing with others. They have an uncouth but delightful sense of humor. They are described as self-motivating, strategic and quiet. The careers they excel at are chemist, composer, inventor or mathematician. Only 10% of males are omegas. 

Females have the same kind of personality typing as males. The descriptors are different and of course more delicate. I became interested in the types of males after a conversation with a zeta male, and it has led to this post. 

I am going to quote my dad once again, he would always say, "it takes all kinds", I guess in this case, "it takes all types". He also said, "life would be boring if we were all the same". I know he would be fascinated with this type of information; I hope you are as well.
