![]() Before I pass the baton to you, Whitney, I want to set the sub for some of the characteristics of a sigma male. It’s lengthy so I don’t necessarily want to read the whole thing. It may be that you shake your head, Whitney, or some of our female readers and go, “I Identify with that, too.” Sigma males, why are they so popular? I brought up this article on a website called Bright Side. As I’m saying this, it will be interesting for you to say, “I wonder which one Jason is.” With gender non-binary, we talk about these as male personalities but it doesn’t necessarily mean that since I identify as male, I’m the only person that’s going to align with these characteristics. Sigma males, Whitney, do you want to know about them? I find this fascinating as hell. It seems like as I’m researching this with a lot of those personality tests that there’s almost an amalgam or a combination of different aspects that I’m not specifically in one nonetheless. I’m definitely an omega male or a delta male.” I want to go on record to say that I don’t necessarily believe that there needs to be a hard-fast rule as I’m reading through this like, “I’m definitely a sigma male. We’ve talked about a lot of personality tests. We’ve talked about Myers-Briggs and we’ve talked about The Four Tendencies. I want to dive in with talking about this sigma thing because it was a curious thing to me. That’s my basic understanding of what I thought were the only two types, alpha and beta males, but apparently, there are six. This ultra-masculinity being displayed for people is how I viewed alpha males.īetas were more submissive, didn’t talk as loudly, and didn’t necessarily feel that they needed to be a leader or be the person in control. The kind of person that their aggression was directed in such a way that if you look up the #AlphaMale or there’s another one called #AlphaMaleShit, it’s like lifting weights, hunting, shooting guns, and driving crazy cars. My viewpoint of an alpha male was aggressive, confident, and a person who always wanted to or needed to be in charge. The only ones that I had ever heard of were an alpha male and a beta male. As I’m going down this rabbit hole, which I want to discuss with you, I found out that there are some psychological frameworks that say there are six different male personality types. Where is this going to lead?” I had never heard this terminology before, Whitney, of a sigma male. ![]() It’s interesting when you find a terminology you’ve never heard before and it piques your interest. It’s like this old warrior and it said, “Are you a sigma male?” I thought, “I’ve never heard this terminology before.” I click on this video and that video leads me to a whole bunch of articles on the internet. The rabbit hole continues to go down, and then in the suggested videos, one of them popped up and the title was something like, “Are you a sigma male?” The thumbnail was like one of the Spartans from the movie 300. I was on YouTube looking for some guitar instruction videos and I was purposefully going on there like, “I’m going to look for these different chord structures for acoustic guitar.” That leads me down a rabbit hole of the new Mortal Kombat movie and I’m watching trailers for that. I’m deep down that rabbit hole that I don’t even remember what video I started on. Their algorithm is intelligent that I will, an hour later, often look up and go, “How did an hour go by and where even am I?” I have a tendency to go down the YouTube rabbit hole because of those suggested videos. There’s an interesting aspect to social media, YouTube in particular, where I feel like when I’m on YouTube and I go on YouTube knowing that I’m going to watch one specific video that inevitably, even though I know this has a likelihood of happening, because of the suggested videos that pop up in the right-hand sidebar, I find more than any other platform. The Questionable Reliability Of Personality Tests And The Sigma Male Learn in this discussion as we dive into various concepts and the possible end results for improper use of labeling. ![]() Male classification and what is called the Sigma male are also issues that need to be addressed with an eye that is open to multi-views. In this episode, hosts Jason Wrobel and Whitney Lauritsen talk about the vulnerabilities and opportunities for improvement for these tests. The accuracy and reliability have been questions to these examinations, and candidates are being labeled without digging outside the generated results. Organizations use personality tests and classifications to identify how candidates behave at work and predict job performance and interaction towards a team or individual project.
