Still books/ study material are of extreme importance.
No one could be living in more extreme poverty than Michael Faraday did. Still he managed to be one of the greatest minds of all times. He read a book called "The improvements of the mind" by Isaac Watts and applied it on himself literally. The book was written for poor people who can not afford themselves books and means to conduct chemistry/electricity/mechanical and biology experiments.
Michael Faraday had to draw and write down everything he learned and imagined meticulously in a military and highly disciplined way where testosterone was expressed in its noble manner: discipline and high focus, no distraction. He wrote himself an extremely dense and technical voluminous book like notes of things he read and noticed while he was still a boy.
The success story of Michael Faraday started only because he was accepted to work for a man selling books. There, Faraday read every single book he saw.
I hope the study mentioned in this article will not be taken seriously by people of modest environments. The victimization mindset is a gatekeeper to success.
Weird way to analyze this. If you look at Faraday's biology he was poor but he had an apprenticeship in his youth, so he clearly had at least adults looking out for him and giving him room to study. I would say it's way more likely that his success can be attributed to him having supportive adults in his life, as opposed to his testosterone(??).
Which apprentcieship are you talking about ? The one he had with the bookmaker ? He did not hire him to help him: he hired him only because he needed him, and Faraday was special as a child. Actually he was exploited by that bookmaker (worked without being paid for few years). It was during that period that he was reading books and he wrote one of his own (a huge selection of technical notes).
He spent 7 years in that library, if I remember. It was much later that Humphry Davy, the chemist, had offered him an internship: again, this chemist, did not hire him to support him but because he met him previously in the book shop where he worked, and many years later, he ad problems with his trainee, so he replaced him with Faraday whom he knew he was too curious and intelligent and cultivated.
So in both cases, Faraday was self taught, and made a huge effort to get the second internship with the chemist (he was rejected few times, if you call this adults supporting him).
And no, Faraday is not known for biology (but I supposed you meant "biography").
About your testosterone question: well, I have nothing to add.
