Thing about that HFOil quote is that it's actually a compliment to McDavid disguised as a critique. It's like being asked your biggest weakness in a job interview and saying "well, I'm a perfectionist, anal about punctuality and I work too hard". And it's actually a critique about the guys he mentions who "can't handle" that Alphaness.
Truth though - there's other descriptions for guys who have a mainspring wound too tight. Like "wingnut".
