Nature vs. Nurture?
I say: Nature on certain things gives us gifts (or handicaps).
At an early age we discover these gifts (or handicaps)and use them
(nurture) to define a type in ourselves.
Common Gifts for each type
1: The ability to hold anger; Keen observation
2: THe ability to know what others want and to carry out such wants
3: The ability to know what others like and to imitate such qualities
4: THe ability to express oneself
5: Intelligence and the gift to stay quiet
6: The gift of being able to sense a lie
7: The gift of energy
8: The gift of arguing well and leadership
9: THe gift of warmth
Common handicaps:
1: The handicap of not being able to express anger
2: The feeling that one who leaves hates you.
3: Arrogance
4: Detachment
5: Low Social Skills
6: No sense of self-sufficiency
7: Self-destruction through gluttony
8: A loud, brash manner
9: Natural disorginization
This is my opinion anyway.
