As I've written in the past, I'm a bit skeptical of the alpha-beta-omega paradigm popular amongst HBDers and gamists. Their definition of "alpha" seems to be a man who is capable of sleeping with a lot of sluts, whereas in biology and political science that term is used to describe the highest-ranked individual of a group (the leader). By the HBD/PUA definition, Adolf Hitler, despite his charisma and leadership abilities, was a beta or omega because he slept with few women in his lifetime. Yet, a gangsta who has four "bitches," but exists on the fringes of society without a job or education is an alpha.
My skepticism was assuaged today, when Barrack Obama demonstrated that is is quite possible to be both a beta by the HBDer/PUA definition and an alpha by the traditional definition. Obama and Bill Clinton were at a press conference regarding the tax "compromise" and Obama dodged the reporters with this exchange (video here):
Obama: "Here's what I'll say, I've been keeping the First Lady waiting for about half an hour, so I'm gonna take off."
Clinton (laughing): "I don't want to make her mad - please go."

Roissy's Dating Market Value Test
Dr. Helen wrote about Roissy's Dating Market Value Test For Women and her score, so I decided to take Roissy's test for men and it revealed (unsurprisingly) that I am a "classic beta."
Has anyone else taken one of Roissy's Dating Market Value Tests? If so, what did you score?
