Personality decided at birth?

What do you think of this? I personally don't believe it contradicts with the teaching of our community. Essentially, the community doesn't change who you are...just displays it in an attractive manner.

this article is based off like one study. It's the arguement that has been going on in psychology for awhile, but it's pretty much been resolved. Both nature and nurture determine a person's personality. This article is oversimplifying it to just nature which doesn't go along with current research. At this time we can't change our genetics. The community however helps us to recreate the environment we are in to one that will better help us get women. While certain personality types may have bigger parts of certain areas of the brain that does not mean that it's solely genetics determined at birth. To the contrary studies show that our minds are plastic throughout our life. There has been plenty of studies on separated twins showing them to be of completely different personality types. To me this proves that genetics cannot be the sole contributor to who we are.

btw if you like the psychology stuff I find [link=hyperlink url]http://www.spring.org.uk/2007/02/psychology-of-relationships.php[/link] to be a much better source than times. They use citations and don't make false correlations very often like times does. Reporters don't seem to know psychology as well as psychologists.
