Sense of humor, is it a gene? Or gained quality? Well, I think it is a gene. What about you, what do you think? Do you have sense of humor? Can you make people laugh? Do people always tell you how funny you are? If your answer is yes… tell us: - Did you have it since birth? - Or did you gain it by time?

I think a sense of humour is something that develops over time rather than being of a genetic nature. My sense of humour is there but sometimes well hidden and only those closest to me know whether or not I find something particularly humourous.

I think it's both. Partly a gene and partly learned behavior. After all, even if you have a gene which gives you a innate talent for art..if the person never practices and works on art -- they never have it. So likewise I think it's the same with humor.
