Genetics determines a lot about you—your basic personality traits, your intelligence, your aptitudes, etc. You have free will, but your choices are shaped by the genes you were born with.

I am, by genetics, a strong introvert. I have no control over this, I was born this way. Hence, it is unlikely that I will ever choose a career in telemarketing or door-to-door sales. By my free will, I chose a career that minimizes interactions with strangers—that is compatible with my genetic predispositions.

I will say that there is a predisposition to aggression. How that aggression is directed is a matter of how a child is raised. A kid who plays violent video games does not become violent as a result. A kid can become violent if he is raised in an abusive family.

This is all BUllSHshIYT- I was introvert til age 25 then became a salesman by accidently forced to find a job and watched people making money just by TALKING, became totally extroverted, when I found out I could make lotsa money by just talking to people..

This gene scheme is pure BS crap.’

One should remember from biology that genes cannot be changed except by radiation and genetic manipulation. The rest is determined by ENVIRONMENT> BIOLOGY 101

Any 3rd grader knows this.

It`s called TRAINING and practice practice practice.

If you offer lotsa buck to any person who discovers they can sell and make lotsa moola just by talking to people- their personalities change overnight. Zomeboody evidently has no experience in the business world, and it ain`t me.

Like I reiterate this is pure BS because no one has quoted any studies on introverts that became extroverts- if no obverse, no converse-
It`s a very flawed supposition and has no legs on which to stand. PURE BS -
if there is no Control B, Control A is invalid.

I know of several introverts that started computer ,high tech & internet companies. Immediately after the smell of money came into their company their whole personalities changed and they became the greatest extroverts , etc.because they know they could sell their ideas and make LOTSA MONEY -
This is pure BS what you are advocating,.

I personally for 20 years know a founder of nVision, since he was a kid, totally introvert but became the greatest multimillionaire salesman for nVision once he saw the buck rolling in..

I personally know a girl who was totally introverted scientist, always studying, experimenting- but when she discovered she could raise millions of dollars by her discoveries- no problem -she`s right up there on the podium totally extroverted to speak to her SHAREHOLDERS>

BULSHT gene scheme is what somebody is preaching here
Zomebody is full of crap and it ain`t me.

been ther done that.
