The absence of depression doesn't seem to me to be the same thing as the
presence of dominance behaviors, risk taking, etc. that might be
specifically associated with testosterone.  Other aspects of personality
that are influenced by the endocrine system could be modulated by
depression too.  I mean, Prozac (etc) may help the subordinate person
cope in their subordinate position, but won't necessarily cause them to
be an alpha, or make subversive plans against the alphas.
