When it comes to personality types, my favorite type of person to talk about is the alpha male and female. There are many misconceptions about the alpha personality. Are you an alpha personality? Let me help you figure it out whether or not you are. It is very simple. First let me dispose of the misconceptions about the alpha personality.

Misconceptions

1. Alpha personalities are born that way.
2. They are rude personalities.
3. They are smooth with their words.
4. They are the life of the party and always out going.
5. They always say what’s on their mind.
6. They are overly aggressive or forceful.
7. They are always first to speak or share what they know.
8. Everyone that makes a lot of money are alpha personalities.

The Alpha Personality

This powerful personality is confident in themselves and fully aware of their self and their present environment. They know that they are the answer to a problem they are unapologetic for who they are. They do not try to fit in or stand out. However, in most cases they do stand out. They do not feel the need to cover insecurities with pretentious acts of grander.

The alpha personality can possess any of the above misconceptions, but alpha personality is confident because he/she is fully aware and therefore comfortable.

Does the alpha personality have insecurities?

Everyone has insecurities but that alpha personality does not entertain or cater to their insecurities. They are fully aware of what their insecurities are, but are not governed by them, nor do they suppress them. Instead they use them as fuel or stepping-stones and navigate their insecurities towards growth and success.

Definite Characteristics of Alpha

Wisdom, openness to learn, strong observation and listening skills are characteristics of the alpha personality.  This is how they can adapt and be comfortable and calm when everyone else is experiencing anxiety.

The alpha personality is aware and comfortable because they know that everything is working in their favor.
