Is personality based on genetics, enviorment, or a combination of both?

This is my task I am working for. I am now preparing for human behavioral genetic research.

I agree with you. If you have been around new born babies you will have noticed the difference in their personality right from the start. As children grow older the situations that life brings has more and more affect on their personality.

I think it can be a combination of both. But it can be attributed more to the environment and of the influences a person is exposed to. When a person is brought up in an environment where he needs to survive he can be very differenr from someone, a twin perhaps who is brought up in a very comfortable life. Their views inlife canbe very different from each other.

Everyone has a personality and it differs according to maturity, intelligence and genes too. We see some has the same personality which matches the father's or the mother's or simply the one which is found in some book and which the person has read and liked so much that he decided to adopt it. So it is a combination of maturity, intelligence and genes.

I also believe that it is the combination of both. It don't think that it is purely environmental or purely genetic. Although some people are genetically predisposed to have a certain characteristics but this is seldom. One example of how personalities developed by your environment vary is big difference in the personality of the people living in the country and the people living in the city.

Yes, I agree with you. Personality is a combination of both genetics and environment.
