It's just (un?)common sense!

Well, I have read (a fancy term: biopsychosocial theory of development) and thought and observed my brothers' and nieces' and cats' different personalities, which they start with from birth but develop according to how they are raised -- there is an interaction between inborn vulnerabilities and strengths, and experiences.

So simple an idea, don't you think?
