Predetermied Personalities...?
Nutsy (2014-09-06 16:18:04)The soul is the only part of our selves we can change at will. Personality is really a chosen thing. If you have the will to change, you can.
AntiChrist (2014-09-06 17:04:16)What Mega said is 100%, without any small piece of doupt, true. Weather you like it or not. Yes, there are environmental variables that can manipulate your personality. If you are born to end up really intelligent when you turn 17, but you are stolen from your original parents and raised in a ghetto by irresponsible, naive parents, you can turn out only half as smart as you couldve been, or less. Once you reach a certain age, however, it isn't very likely that your personality will change very much or at all.
In my opinion, that age would be somewhere around 17 or 18.

No one is saying it is only one without the other, Kish. It is both.
Brandon, you're not making any sense.

little5 (2014-09-06 17:51:10)I believe that personality develops over time, and we're each born with our default personalities. That personality continues to change (even if it's only a little) until you pass away.

Chill, please. I don't think you read my whole comment. I'm going to come back and comment later. I can't think rationally now because I'm pissed. I can't help but feel personally attacked when being told I don't know what I'm talking about when it comes to anything biology related. Maybe I'm just overreacting a little.
little5 (2014-09-06 18:43:36) AntiChrist (2014-09-06 18:47:39)Yes, and I'm not butthurt anymore now. Still, I never said personality is completely predetermined.

AntiChrist mentioned this in the "Babies and Parenthood" thread.
This is just a thought that intrigued me. I would personally think that personality is determined by experiences and philosophies...even siblings who grow up in the same household with the same parents, each have different experiences. But if someone can expand on "predetermined personalities" would be appreciated.
And what do you think? Are we helpless over our personalities or do we produce it ourselves, whether subconsciously or otherwise?
(Also, I'm aware of the title typo. Don't start eve)
