Are Tamed Monster Growth Patterns Random

final-fantasy-13-2

Does a tamed monster of a particular type always have the same final "leveling" disposition?

For example, every single Pulse Knight I've tamed so far has been an Early Learner. I was hoping to use him further into the game, but with a maximum level of 20 it's not feasible.

The strategy guide confirms that the type of monster determines their growth pattern and their level cap: if one Pulse Knight is an early learner, they all are.
