Imagine two hypothetical scenarios: Scenario 1: Adam has an identical twin reared in a different household by different parents from Adam.
Scenario 2: Adam has a fraternal twin reared in the same household by the same parents as Adam.
Which of the following cases is most likely
A) The identical twin reared apart would have a personality similar to Adam's.
B) The fraternal twin reared in the same house would have a similar personality to Adam's.
C) An identical twin reared apart and a fraternal twin reared together would have the same chance of having a personality similar to Adam's.
D) We can't make any inferences because the environment has a stronger effect on personality than genetics.
