Again the intereting question:
Why do Russian experts believe that type is genetically determined?
Probably because they observed enough identical twins who are the same type. Some Russian speakers could certainly find it out...
I have no set opinion, but I'd say Ti/Fe valuing. I speculated Lech could have been LII and Jaroslaw SLE. Coincidentially, that would result in supervision - which would explain enormous influence there was. Although the information I based it on comes from sources which were keen to represent them in either very bad or very good light, as most info on politicians does.

Good point about potential repressed homosexuality, although that's something we'll probably never know for sure.

I think what's believed about type is that it's inborn, or more exactly natural (i.e. independent of parental influence, for example). This may lead many people - like some here - to assume it's genetic. Let's face it, that's what is taught at school along with simple trait inheritance - that genotype determines fenotype, period. It's easy to jump to conclusions. Was there ever any kind of socionics research involving twins? I'd be interested in any evidence there might be.
