Can confirm. My son was definitely born with most of his behavioural patterns already formed. It appears to me that we as parents can only guide what is already there, and not completely reshape our children into whatever suits us.

I expect parents expectations of how much they can shape their children has caused more broken adults than anything else.

Yes, we try to help kids fit into society a bit.

The extrovert we teach control and restraint, the introvert to be ongoing and more expressive.

Yes exactly. Some mainly need borders, others need to show how to go beyond.
