Competitive Drive Metrics

Meaning

Competitive Drive Metrics are quantifiable physiological and psychological indicators used to assess the underlying biological capacity for motivation, persistence, and the pursuit of dominance or achievement. These metrics move beyond subjective self-report by integrating hormonal profiles, neurotransmitter metabolite ratios, and objective behavioral data. Key hormonal markers often include the ratio of free testosterone to cortisol, which provides insight into the anabolic-to-catabolic balance supporting assertive behavior. These data points offer a clinical view of an individual’s neuroendocrine readiness for high-stakes, competitive environments.
