On a serious note, in the age of the Human Genome Project and all the advances in genetic engineering, where literally everything from having a common cold to becoming a body-building freak is accredited to your genes, i still believe that there quite a lot of traits which we acquire from our environment. And in my opinion, these E and S types of people are more a product of the environment they live in than from any genetic or hereditary malfunction as the MSNBC article tried to say.
Like i would say for myself that yes, i was brought up to be the cool, calm logical (read acountant!) type of a fellow by my parents. And the environment i was provided was one which would prepare a future S type. Similarly my sister was brought up in a fashion where she she was expected to interact on a more personal level with everybody and accordingly she is an excellent reader of faces and expressions.
Although i am a great fan of genetics, but atleast in this case, environment plays a more active part than one's bilogical make up.
