>My hypothesis proved to be statistically supported.  Beekeeper tend to be
more introverted.  Our data also showed a statistical difference in two
other personality factors.  Beekeepers tended to be more emotionally stable
and to be more open to new experiences.

From my personal anecdotal observations of beekeepers I have gotten to know, it seems fairly common for experienced beekeepers to have a gamma personality.  (I do see a lot of alphas and betas in new beekeepers.)  From what I understand, only a few percentage of people have a gamma personality.  The overwhelming majority of people are alphas or betas.

Here is a good article explaining the differences in alpha, beta, and gamma personalities.
