So, you can’t wait to know how to identify a beta male? Perhaps, this thought came the moment your bro called you a beta? Or, do you feel there’s a beta male around you?
Well, the beta male personality is one of the top ones, yet there’s still no official test for your answer. But don’t worry because this think-piece will help you reach the perfect answer in no time.
C’mon, let’s get started!
How to identify a beta male?
Beta men are often assumed to be the opposite of alpha men. But that’s a pretty poor way to identify true beta males. In reality, they are powerful yet too shy to reveal their true potential.
But it’ll take ages to figure things out this way. Instead, take this test yourself if you suspect yourself as a beta male. If it’s someone else, let them take it by themselves.
So, shoot your answers!
1. Do you dislike the idea of leading? Does it make you uncomfortable or anxious? Is it because you fear making mistakes and disappointing others?
2. Do you feel more comfortable obeying the leader than taking charge? Are you an extremely cooperative team player? Is it because you understand the troubles of a leader and respect them?
3. If anyone seeks your help, do you support them in any way possible? Do you not judge the one seeking help based on their experience, background, or other relevant details?
4. Since you’re always eager to help, do you often get taken advantage of? Do you never try to find out if the other person needs help at all or is an opportunist? Do you find the truth only when it’s too late?
5. Can you go to any length to maintain peace… even if that means avoiding conflicts? Do you often cut off contact or walk out in between a conversation to avoid facing a fight?
6. Do people around you feel frustrated because of your conflict avoidance? But do you still feel that you did the right thing because nobody got hurt? Do you feel like a nice guy because you saved others from painful fights?
