    If a homosexual has a child/children then his/her genes have been passed on to the next generation. What is political about that? A male regardless of his sexual orientation and fully functioning penis cannot have a child alone. He usually needs a woman to help him with that! By the same token a woman cannot have a child without the involvement of a man at some point, although she at least can use an artificial form of insemination.

    And the rest of the world will be deprived of their sensitive and gifted genes forever unless, of course, they chose to have children before they cordoned themselves off.

    Based on your experience do you know 2 people who have exactly the same personality?

    I still doubt they have the EXACT personality.

    I know some twins (not identical) and they are SOOOOOOO different.

    The identical twins I've known had pretty distinct personalities, although they may share certain traits.

    I certainly know people who have very similar personalities who might well fit within a range of a particular personality type. I was the one who asked the question remember? I was wondering if there is any scientific data on the subject apart from 'intorvert/extrovert'.

    Yes there's a lot--I get over 1300 hits on PubMed for Personality Testing/Assessment. There's a whole society for personality assessment (http://www.personality.org/). And you can even get a number of tests online: http://www.prospects.ac.uk/cms/Show...Test_yourself/Personality_assessments/p!eagcF

    But I think, as with a lot of psychological testing, these assessments are making broad generalizations.

    I'd say we are all unique in some way. No one's life experiences will be the exact same,so no one will have learned the exact same responses to things. Also, I don't think anyone's neurology is the exact same either.

    You're unique; just like everyone else.

    Tangent-
    While the spectrum may be larger than human perception, it is not necessary that it is infinite. Reality might bin, once you get small enough. Or it could be turtles all the way down.

    While we may share some traits with other individuals, we're all pretty unique personality-wise, I'd say. Possibly as a consequence of unique experiences.
