Do people just say "type A" personality now? Or describe someone as more "passive" as opposed to "assertive"? The alpha/beta/etc terms are scientifically unreal but it's not like people generally don't know what is being referred to when discussing people's general personality vibes

I tell people there are two reasons I wear clothes. If I didn't: #1 people would be uncomfortable. #2 I am too inattentive to stop it from dragging on the ground.

Aren't alpha males and females kind of real in the sense that they are just wolf mom and dad?

The wolf thing is a myth, these actually refer to the stages of software deveopment. Alpha is buggy, unstable, missing key features and unsutable for the public. Beta is mostly complete, but may still have bugs or occasional crashes. (So basicly teenagers)

Some recent papers sugest it might also refer to alpha particles, high mass but very low penetration power and depth. These particles are typicaly emitted by high mass atom.
