How much impact does your environment/upbringing have on your personality?

Just curious if there are studies on this. I doubt it’s 100% either way. But how much?

90% nurture. 10% nature.

75% nurture. 25% nature.

50/50

25% nurture. 75% nature.

10% nurture. 90% nature.

Every body is being born as a fairly innocent being. Everything that happens after that has impact on tour being. Take the famous story about a man grow up with wolfs. It is a man yet the education of the adult wolf creates a different being. The outside still a man.. the being within is set to one of a wolf. It wants / need of hunting.

A person born in a country which is in war will be different than the same being born in war free country.

Same if the person grows up with abusive parents. Or not.

On the moment of birth we are more or less the same. The rest of his / her life determines how the person develops in character.

So i would say.. nature extreme low. The rest environment..

I agree. But I do think genetics impact our thought patterns. Some people are born sociopaths. They might turn out okay if they have a good upbringing. But still that’s going to impact their personality.
