That was quite interesting. The only thing that doesn't fit well with my life experience is the "high libido" part. The high dopamine crowd seems to be less interested in sex than the average male, in my impression.

Look at some of the side effects of dopamine agonists used to treat Parkinson's disease. Hyper sexuality and gambling addictions are common. But I'm not going to argue with your life experience. However there is a difference between desire and expression of that desire which many learn to supress.
Dopamine also increases exploratory behaviors; suppresses oxytocin release (cuddle hormone) and reduces social bonding; increases the ability to form memories; reduces the ability to forget. Think the BBS version of Sherlock Holmes.
