Does your personality affect your decision to have children or not?

Now, this is definitely something new! A new research study has shown that personality traits affect your decision to have children or not.  A newspaper report about the study says that men who are extrovert and open are more likely to have children than men who are moody and women who are rated as conscientious tend to have fewer or no children.  Looking at the original abstract of the report entitled 'Personality Traits increasing important for male fertility', the authors say that neurotic men (popularly know as moodiness are less likely to have children. The authors say that  'Men that have certain personality traits may increasingly be avoiding the long-term commitment of having children, or their female partners are shunning entering this type of commitment with them'  I really find this interesting!
