And of course (overanalysing a bit), there is the possibility that being "alpha" and "lowering ASD" are actually a result of the same actions. Most everything that lowers her ASD are the same things which can be considered alpha behaviour. Things like, taking charge, keeping your frame, not supplicating, showing leadership, persisting, playing hard to get, etc. So by association (more overanalysis), shit tests are not really tests to see if you are alpha
