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.
