That is the foundation of how we are structured, and from there we of course take off in many different directions depending on who we are as people and the choices we make. People of the same type often don't even resemble each other, but when you get down to basics the similarities are there.
I think of this like someone being left or right handed. They can choose to use the other hand, but they'd more often prefer to say, pick up a pencil with their natural hand. And most of the time that's what they'd do, except for maybe in some situations they'd choose to force themselves to write with the other hand. That's not to say that all lefties appear the same, just that in one narrow area they are similar.
