I'm confident that we will confirm the 50-0-50 rule: Adult personality is roughly 50% genetic, 0% how they are raised by their parents, and 50% socialization outside the family by peers and friends</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://blogs.psychologytoday.com/blog/brainstorm/200807/impossible-experiments"><div align="center"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/blogs.psychologytoday.com/img/116D0FF9-0400-4F25-9DAC-4649E0714C62" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://blogs.psychologytoday.com/blog/brainstorm/200807/impossible-experiments"><B>Universal Grammar</B></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://blogs.psychologytoday.com/blog/brainstorm/200807/impossible-experiments">I would entirely determine the sentences and words children are presented with during their infancy and childhood.
