Many researchers have agreed that personality is both influenced by nature and nurture. But I will still stand that nurture has bigger impacts than nature. If environment didn’t play a part in determining an individual’s traits and behaviors‚ then identical twins should‚ theoretically‚ be exactly the same in all respects‚ even if reared apart.
