So following that logic do you think it is better for someone with a naturally angry disposition to channel his anger in non-abusive ways or to work on becoming humble?
Yes everyone is born with different natural tendencies. The good ones are there to be enhanced and the bad ones are there to spend a lifetime overcoming.
At the risk of sounding chauvinistic, I recall seeing in a sefer I wish I could remember where) something along the lines, that as a result of the switch of Dinah and Yosef, she ended up with a (Yosef’s) male tendency to “go out” and that was where she got caught.
On the other hand, my R”Y told us that Rav Isser Zalman Meltzer (his grandfather) dictated to his Rebbitzen the entire Even HaEzel the implication being that she was able to understand his ideas.
Similarly, at an asifa in his house, a Rov quoted a posuk and she came out from the kitchen to tell him he had misquoted it (they were both right, the gemara had a different girsa than the tanach).
At another asifa in her house she came out to tell them to stop dithering when the right thing to do about a certain issue was obvious. So this is obviously a brilliant lady who is not afraid to put herself out there.
The point though, is that all this being so, she was still not a public lady. She didn’t become a “Maharat” or try to pasken women’s issues. Her greatest contribution, the one that only she could perform, was to raise an invalid (her husband) into a gadol hador. That is what makes her an eishes chayil. Not a chayeles.
