No idea. First came across the link last night, shortly before I posted here. Saw the test at the top of the page, but was primarily attracted to a number of authors further down, that I've encountered before. Also found some of the ideas expressed to be interesting. Decided to save further exploration for the weekend. Noted For the humans who would like to know what it takes to be an alpha man—if I were 25 and asked that question I would certainly say competitive prowess is important—balls, translated into the more abstractly demanding social realm of humans. What's clear to me now at 45 is, screw the alpha male stuff. Go for an alternative strategy. Go for the social affiliation, build relationships with females, don't waste your time trying to figure out how to be the most adept socially cagy male-male competitor. Amazingly enough that's not what pays off in that system. Go for the affiliative stuff and bypass the male crap.
