Is high intelligence an alpha or beta trait?

Depends on how you use it.

Read the Sidebar.

"Avoid asking questions like "is this alpha" or "is this beta?" Instead focus on asking whether or not your actions were congruent with your goals."

I doubt there is a strong correlation. Many highly educated men are huge betas.

That is not really how it works. Being alpha is more about not making excuses for yourself & living your life as successful as possible(not being lazy). Although TRP preaches going to the gym, its more about the self discipline & taking charge of your own life then for the looks. Going to the gym doesn't automatically make you alpha, i have many friends that are huge but don't have the balls to talk to girls even when they want to, so they're still beta.

Intelligence can be viewed the same way, if you're smart but working a shitty 9-5 job at McDonalds because you're lazy.. then that would be beta. You should be trying to move up in the ranks, using your intelligence to run a business or achieve a high paying job that challenges you. Instead of trying to get bigger, you're goal should be to have a bigger paycheck (career gains are just as measurable as gains at the gym).

Don't get too caught up with semantics though. Like would you consider bill gates alpha or beta bux? I'm sure he would be alpha, there is no way someone can get to being that wealthy by letting people step all over them, he would have screwed over many people/friends while gaining his fortune.

I think it's rare to find a real alpha with low intelligence. That being said intelligence is such a broad term it's not really very useful.

Nerdy guys don't get laid because they're smart, but because they play video games all day and have no game.
