What do you think? Are you an alpha, a beta, or a gamma?
You may recall the ethologist’s characterization of the social interaction of rats as being between a few alpha rats and many beta rats, the alpha rats being dominant and the beta rats submissive.

The people most inclined to leave for the wide world outside and seek fortune elsewhere are typically gamma personalities.
