tommy is S tier sigma.
Thomas Shelby is reputable for being a sigma male character archetype. One of them strong, but quiet and introverted characters that make the everyman tell themselves: "OMG, he's literally me." But if you actually watch Peaky Blinders, you'll really he's not exactly that.
Tommy is an ENTJ. While he may appear socially introverted, he is definitely living in the external world and is a person of action and execution. ENTJs are In-Charge™ personality types, and they do what it takes to achieve their goals rapidly and stay ahead of the game.
What is a Sigma Male? A sigma male is, essentially, an introverted alpha male, offering misguided men a chance to place themselves at the very top of this imaginary hierarchy, without the loud, boisterous personality that an “alpha” boasts.
When it comes to Peaky Blinders there really is only one person who can take the top spot when it comes to intelligence, and that is Tommy Shelby. The leader of the group and the man behind all of the plans and business ideas, Tommy has a reason for everything he does.
The most powerful member of the Peaky Blinders was a man known as Kevin Mooney. His real name was Thomas Gilbert, but he routinely changed his last name. Other prominent members of the gang were David Taylor, Earnest Haynes, Harry Fowles, and Stephen McNickle.
Immediately below the alpha male in the pecking order is the beta male, followed by the delta, gamma, and omega archetypes. In terms of dominance level, the sigma male should appear second, below alpha.
Alpha males are at the top of the social hierarchy, whereas sigma males stay outside the social hierarchy by choice.
Alphas are at the very top of the male socio-sexual hierarchy while sigmas don't have a fixed place within the hierarchy. Alphas tend to be more extroverted, traditional, and aggressive while sigmas usually keep to themselves, think outside of the box, and have a calm disposition.
He is always thinking a few steps ahead and he tends to plan everything very detailed. I would say his IQ is somewhere between 120 and 130.
Ragnar: INTJ, The Architect
Ragnar knows how to portray his reputation though. He understands that he must be feared if he wants to be successful in his efforts and for this reason, he's an INTJ.
Because the sigma male is self-motivated and driven, it's no real surprise that he's also successful in all that he does. In fact, he's often equally as successful as the alpha male without trying to compete or elevate himself. He works hard, plays hard, and enjoys his life — and it shows.
He's intelligent, with strategic thinking, takes care of those close to him. Basically it's all down to charisma with an element of danger. Probably in the real world who would not be quite so successful. What is Thomas Shelby's IQ?
Know that if you are an introvert, you can still be successful, inspiring, and charismatic like Keanu Reeves, who some classify as a sigma male.
Sigma males are more emotionally intelligent than alpha males. Sigma males have high emotional intelligence (EQ) which helps them understand others' emotions and read the room. They notice their faults and improve themselves. Even when criticized, they take it with a sportsman's spirit.
Differences between sigma and alpha males
They are often outgoing, assertive, and dominate social situations. On the other hand, Sigma males don't fit into this hierarchy. They're seen as the “lone wolves” who live outside these structures and don't seek to be a part of them.
Introduction. The terms alpha, beta, and gamma male are typically used to describe an individual's position within a social hierarchy. In linear hierarchies, alpha males are the highest-ranking males within a group, followed by beta, and then gamma males.
Attraction. Women are drawn to the sigma male archetype for many reasons. First off, sigma males are always willing to walk away. This is a highly attractive trait to women because it shows that the man is confident and likes himself enough to be content with his own company.
Michael Gray is the man that Tommy Shelby cannot defeat - not because Tommy is incapable but because the cost of doing so is Tommy's soul. Tommy Shelby (Cillian Murphy) said that he will keep going until he finds the man he cannot defeat – that man must be his cousin, Michael Gray (Finn Cole).
Arthur Shelby Jr. was born to a Romani and Irish Traveller family. Growing up, Arthur regularily wrestled with his siblings and was known as the strongest. He once got beaten by Tommy, he also once held off 12 police officers with a boat hook, showing that he let Tommy win.
