Inherent personality is a tricky subject. I would say there is room for it, but it can and most likely will be displaced as the random occurrences build up and take shape. Perhaps as children, with very little time under our belts, I think there might be an inherent personality. I guess that's why children are so "pure."

But it's still impossible to say there aren't things in a baby's early life that do not shape how it reacts to the world around it. We give them toys, talk silly to them, and they see everything else that might not be for babies; arguments, crying, bad TV. Just because they can't articulate it doesn't mean they aren't affected by it.

Well that's just the thing...I believe it's completely impossible for two people to be brought up under identical circumstances. The world is completely changing all the time, even in the smallest of ways, and these things can never be observed the same way twice or even processed the same by two people at once. Not every time for a whole life time. So we're all different :)
