The Matriarchs (High TES / High SER)

1. Angelina Jolie

[ High TES / High OXY / High DOP / Low OPI / Mid NOR / High ACH / High SER / Low GABA ]

Why: She is the ultimate High TES/High SER Queen—dominant and regal. However, her Low OPI (Asceticism) and Low GABA (Intensity/Edge) show she doesn’t relax; she is driven by a restless “save the world” mission (High OXY/DOP). She converts internal volatility into external power.

2. Charlize Theron

[ High TES / Low OXY / Mid DOP / Mid OPI / High NOR / Mid ACH / High SER / High GABA ]

Why: A kinetic tank. High TES + High NOR makes her an action star who does her own stunts. Low OXY gives her that blunt, “one of the guys” logic. High GABA means she has incredibly thick skin; she is unbothered and physically robust. She enjoys the sensory grittiness (Mid OPI).

3. Viola Davis

[ High TES / High OXY / High DOP / High OPI / Low NOR / High ACH / High SER / Mid GABA ]

Why: High ACH provides that gravitational, bottomless depth in her eyes. High TES gives her the command of a General. High OXY allows her to access deep pain for her art. High SER means she knows her worth and demands it; she radiates “Ma Rainey” status energy.

4. Jodie Foster

[ High TES / Low OXY / High DOP / Low OPI / Low NOR / High ACH / High SER / High GABA ]

Why: The Intellectual Architect. Low OXY + High ACH creates a hyper-logical, Mensa-level focus. Low OPI means she avoids the Hollywood “fun” scene entirely. High GABA keeps her private life practically invisible; she has a massive shield against the chaos of fame.

The Kinetic Chaos Agents (High NOR / Low GABA)

5. Jennifer Lawrence

[ Mid TES / Mid OXY / Mid DOP / High OPI / High NOR / Low ACH / Mid SER / High GABA ]

Why: High NOR is the physical clumsiness and high energy. High OPI is key here—she loves pizza, reality TV, and comfort; she “savors” being normal. High GABA makes her Teflon—she trips at the Oscars and laughs because she lacks the neurotic shame spiral.

6. Florence Pugh

[ High TES / High OXY / Mid DOP / High OPI / Mid NOR / Mid ACH / High SER / High GABA ]

Why: The High OPI Queen—her “Cooking with Flo” series is pure sensory enjoyment and vibes. High TES gives her that raspy, “don’t mess with me” grit. High GABA makes her seemingly immune to internet hate; she wears what she wants and enjoys her life loudly.

7. Kristen Stewart

[ Low TES / Mid OXY / High DOP / Low OPI / High NOR / Mid ACH / Low SER / Low GABA ]

Why: The Anxious Authentic. Low GABA explains the twitchiness and lip-biting (Sensory Overload). Low SER manifests as a rejection of “Star Status”—she is uncomfortable with the pedestal. High DOP drives her toward weird, abstract indie roles rather than safe blockbusters.

8. Aubrey Plaza

[ Mid TES / Low OXY / High DOP / Low OPI / Low NOR / High ACH / Low SER / High GABA ]

Why: Low OXY is the deadpan trolling; she treats social interaction like a lab experiment. Low NOR (Static) + High ACH (Focus) creates that intense, unblinking stare. High GABA means she feels zero social anxiety when making things awkward; she thrives in the silence.

The Ethereal Processors (High ACH / High DOP)

9. Anya Taylor-Joy

[ Low TES / Mid OXY / High DOP / Low OPI / Low NOR / High ACH / Mid SER / Low GABA ]

Why: She has “Prey Animal” eyes—High ACH (Hyper-focus) mixed with Low GABA (High Sensitivity). She seems to vibrate at a frequency humans can’t hear. High DOP pulls her toward the abstract and the weird. Low TES makes her presence gentle and observational, never dominating.

10. Tilda Swinton

[ Low TES / Low OXY / High DOP / Low OPI / Low NOR / High ACH / High SER / High GABA ]

Why: An alien visitor. High DOP + High ACH creates a being of pure art and abstraction. Low OPI—she seems ascetic, detaching from earthly pleasures. High SER/GABA—she is completely secure in her weirdness. She has no desire to control others (Low TES), only to explore ideas.

11. Cate Blanchett

[ High TES / Low OXY / High DOP / Low OPI / Low NOR / High ACH / High SER / Mid GABA ]

Why: High ACH gives her technical mastery (The Sage). Low OXY creates a cool, intellectual distance; she dissects characters rather than merging with them. High TES projects authority without needing to raise her voice. She operates on a different, higher resolution plane than most.

12. Zendaya

[ Mid TES / Mid OXY / High DOP / Low OPI / Low NOR / High ACH / High SER / High GABA ]

Why: The Disciplined Icon. High ACH + High GABA is her secret weapon—she is young, but incredibly poised, focused, and un-messy. Low OPI suggests a workaholic nature; she is always building the legacy, rarely just “vibing.” High DOP drives her fashion choices as conceptual art.

The Social Alchemists (High OXY / High NOR)

13. Margot Robbie

[ High TES / Mid OXY / Mid DOP / Mid OPI / High NOR / Mid ACH / High SER / High GABA ]

Why: A producer powerhouse. High TES + High NOR is the hustle energy required to get Barbie made. High SER radiates the “Golden Girl” confidence. Mid OXY/DOP makes her grounded and pragmatic—she is a business woman who understands the social equation perfectly.

14. Emma Stone

[ Mid TES / High OXY / High DOP / Mid OPI / High NOR / Mid ACH / Mid SER / Mid GABA ]

Why: High NOR creates her fast-talking screwball energy. High OXY makes her intensely charming and neurotic-in-a-fun-way. High DOP drives her recent shift into surrealist cinema (Poor Things). She oscillates between anxiety (Mid GABA) and brilliance.

15. Reese Witherspoon

[ High TES / High OXY / Mid DOP / Low OPI / High NOR / Mid ACH / High SER / High GABA ]

Why: The “Tracy Flick” energy never left; it just matured. High TES drives her media empire conquest. High OXY weaponizes social networking. Low OPI—she is always working, always reading, always planning. She converts social capital into actual capital.

The Grounded Pragmatists (Low OXY / Mid DOP)

16. Scarlett Johansson

[ High TES / Low OXY / Mid DOP / Mid OPI / Mid NOR / Mid ACH / High SER / High GABA ]

Why: The ultimate professional. Low OXY—she separates her feelings from the business (suing Disney). High GABA—she ignores the media noise completely. Mid DOP—she isn’t an abstract artist; she picks roles that are sensible career moves. High TES—she stands her ground.

17. Mila Kunis

[ Mid TES / Low OXY / Mid DOP / High OPI / High NOR / Low ACH / Mid SER / High GABA ]

Why: Low OXY—she is famously blunt and logical in interviews; she refuses to play the “sweetheart” game. High OPI—she loves gaming and “normal” life. High NOR—she has a quick, reactive wit. She feels like a “Cool Girl” Sensor (ISTP vibe).

18. Jennifer Aniston

[ Mid TES / High OXY / Low DOP / Mid OPI / Mid NOR / Mid ACH / High SER / High GABA ]

Why: The Stabilization Queen. Low DOP—she found what worked (Friends archetype) and stuck to it for 30 years (Homeostasis). High OXY—she maintains massive social networks in Hollywood. High SER/GABA—she radiates a calm, unbothered “California Wealth” vibe.

19. Jenna Ortega

[ Mid TES / Low OXY / Mid DOP / Low OPI / Mid NOR / High ACH / Mid SER / Mid GABA ]

Why: Low OXY—she rewrote her lines in Wednesday because they were “illogical” (Logic > Politeness). High ACH—she learned cello and fencing specifically for the role (Depth/Focus). Low OPI—she seems allergic to “fun” fluff; she takes herself very seriously.

20. Emily Blunt

[ Mid TES / Mid OXY / Mid DOP / Mid OPI / High NOR / Mid ACH / High SER / High GABA ]

Does Testosterone Aid Aging Men

Dr Seal is best-placed to advise, but my understanding is that if your levels are only a little higher than the recommendations, and your other bloods are otherwise ok (in particular your RBC/liver tests) then they might consider leaving things as they are, and just keeping an eye on the results.

I gather the main issue with high testosterone is the potential for polycythaemia (basically your blood getting thicker), as well as cholesterol and liver problems. Ongoing blood tests would be needed to check whether these are becoming problems, and your dose might need to be adjusted again if so - but again, Dr Seal will be able to advise!

I’m afraid this response might be irrelevant for you, as presumably you’ve had your review with Dr Lorimer now! I’ll respond for the benefit of others who might be in a similar situation, though:

>52 is high, yes. You don’t mention which type of testosterone you’re on, but as a very rough estimate they normally want your testosterone levels to be between 10 and 30 nmol/L (there are narrower ranges for specific types of testosterone).

What type of testosterone you’re on will also determine what they do with your dose. If you’re on gel, you might be asked to reduce the amount you apply each day. If on Sustanon, you might be asked to inject less (e.g. 0.8ml every 4 weeks instead of 1ml), and if on Nebido they might want you to have injections a week or two further apart.
