[quote=MUDDIEDKNEES,282298]<<Results suggested that high testosterone levels increased men's confidence and appetite for risk.>> Based on the statement above, the title (first sentence) is quite misleading. High testosterone levels lead to confidence and an appetite for risk? Yes! Does it lead to success? Not necessarily. Some related thoughts: 1.) Since men have more testosterone than women, does this mean men in general have better business instincts than women (at least on the trading floors). 2.) Perhaps, being aggressive helps one succeed on the trading floors. High testosterone usually means more aggression. To follow the same line of thinking, they should have identified common observable characteristics in the men who had both high testosterone levels and success on the trading floors. 3.) What about confident women who take risks? Do they have higher levels of the hormone? Lots of questions to ask. I hope I designed the study myself. =P[/quote]
