This theory is closely intertwined with the hierarchy of dominance in zoology, which was put forward in the 70s by David Mech.

He studied the behavior of animals in the wild for a long time and identified several types of males — from the highest to the lowest. People, as you know, are not far from our smaller brothers in terms of basic instincts. Therefore, psychologists have developed this chain, identifying the four most stable human psycho types: alpha, beta, gamma, and omega. What features are characteristic of each of them?

Alpha is leadership. Alpha you definitely will not miss it. Such a person always stands out from the rest. They say that Alphas are not made, but born. These are real innovators, leaders, and ideologists who can move the masses behind them. They always think in global terms and try to change the world. But along with this, Alphas are characterized by pride, arrogance, as well as a tendency to polygamy.
