Gosh, where do I start? This is just me babbling about what I've observed with my children and with my siblings. We are born with different personality types, this I'm sure of. Each of my three were born with their own distinct character which was obvious right from the start. I could write a book giving examples, but I will not bore you with my motherly devotions and frustrations.
Then added to the various personalities is how each individual is molded by the experiences they have mixing with like and unlike individuals out in the world. And just for a twist, there are enviormental factors too.
Having said this, I believe once we reach a maturity level (the lucky souls who never do) where we can reflect on all this, and some of us like me use the assistance of psycoanalysis, we begin to understand all this hodgepodge. With understanding comes enlightenment and acceptance, and what we choose to do with this knowledge may depend on the personality type we were born with.
