As always, heh, you seem to be doing the thing where you try to be critical about what I'm saying without really understanding what I'm saying.
I'm sorry if I was a bit harsh on you.

There is a mainstream scientific theory about personality that the person who started the thread linked to.
You think that a theory that (as far as I know [strengths are a bad keyword to search for]) has no peer reviewed research to back it up, is more specific and can solve the question better.

The mainstream theory has had some research that gives an indication about genetic influences and also on the question of whether average people can sometimes change their personality (at least according to wikipedia, I haven't read the papers they link to).

I've done well using this approach of "give experts who seem to have proven success in their field some credit and trust that what they're saying is accurate in pointing to effectiveness, even if their definitions and the science of it could be improved, and try out things for myself."
Marcus has no peer reviewed papers on neuroscience which makes him no real expert in neuroscience.
He may be a expert in another field but I he's no neuroscientist.

Back to those synapnes.
Hormores for example work very fast without changing much of neuron wiring. Certain genetic variations could lead to a larger amount of a given hormone at certain times.

If talents create feelings I don't think it's a far out idea that it could have something to do with hormone production.

Talking about this in terms of “bad news” or “bad judgment by business leaders” seems archaic. It’s like describing World War One as “a serious diplomatic concern.”
