Do you think introversion and extroversion are genetically based ?

I just received an update from ancestry.com indicating that my dna indicates I’m "probably an introvert" (in fact, I am). Curious, considering that my youngest sister, who comes from the same dna source is very much an extrovert and always has been. 🤔

I never hear of that.. i always presumed it was an environmental thing like how people around them treated them and valued their opinions or not..

@YoMomma That’s what I’d always thought, as well. My sister’s claimed that as the youngest of four kids she’s had to “shout a little louder to be heard”. 😊

@bijouxbroussard @YoMomma My 3 youngest siblings are all introverts...the extroverts are the 3rd and 5th of the eight siblings.
