One thing that's interesting. Is 'knowing the difference between Testosterone-Mindset & Dopamine-Zest. Testosterone is Primal, about Social Status, about self-preserving Decisions. It creates a "linear" mindset, that is Desire-Based, but also Structurally Rigid and (often) Closed-Minded or at least, more Concerned with "winning" an Argument, rather than promoting 'Sound Judgement.dude, the guy with 500 test can be a lot more androgenic than 2000
it has to be all balanced to have that constant nitric oxide release, otherwise the dude, with 2000 would be just tired bald impotent, and depressive aggressive.
Dopamine on the other hand: Is about Optimism, Confidence, Life-Energy, PASSION, Fantasies about Ruling the World etc, Testosterone helps give you the 'MAINTENANCE' and Consistency; unhindered by Anxiety, and can (PARTLY) ignite the RESOLVE to do such things. The Dopamine gives the Energy & Ambition, but without Testosterone AND Norepinephrine - there is no Logic to turn such 'INSANE' ideas into Realities!
One of the Reasons why, as @Helen says, that "too much Testosterone is non-masculine" - is because EXCESS Androgens without Progesterone & Estrogen - will LEAD-TO LOW-Dopamine levels and low CENTRAL Nitric-Oxide which will then DESTROY Personality. Someone will then become so UP-TIGHT, self-conscious, that they LOSE the Ability to "Balance the Equation". Thus, they become WEAK because they become Astoundingly RIGID and their Affect, Constricted.
