How much of your personality is actually intellect?

Well, back in the days of the cave men, where women and man were just like brothers and sisters to apes/ monkeys...(whatever) what consisted as a personality? Is there a real personality, before there was up bringing, culture, etc etc?

How much is a personality actually natural based on natural responses as a organic, biological human, as opposed to a socially constructed, science witty, educated, body of ideas, perception, human being?

Did cave men and women have distinctive personalities from each other, could we ever know?

How much of the personality is actually from your intellect?

If you were raised by a pack of wolves would you have a personality? Would it be considered a personality, how would you again define some one's personality that was grown and developed from wild animals? From

If I was a wild animal that humped everything with no restraint and control would that be a personality trait?

How do you perceive, define, redefine?

    I believe we are already born with a personality. There are environmental issues that play a small part but as you use some animals to make a point. Lets use that . A dog may give birth to a litter of six puppies. Some will be more outgoing and curious while others stick to the mom. Take any kind of animal living in the wild , the brothers and sisters grow up in the same , same enviroment yet many will show different characteristics.

    Human beings are the same I believe . We are born with specific traits already hardwired. Environment and education may play a certain but smaller role.

    We are born with personality

    Personality is usually defined as the way a person (or creature, if one wishes to apply it to the whole animal kingdom :-) typically thinks, acts, and feels.

    I think there is a personality innately present when a person is born, but that intrinsic personality is shaped by the events and people around you as you go through life.

    Yeah, well, old thread. Spilled milk to me. No, I don't care about the technical anthropological terminology for stages of man....

    I didn't realise it was so old. And I wasn't correcting the term you were using, just the fact that your post may as well have opened with "FROM THE BEGINNING OF TIME..."

    "Since the dawn of time, man has..." is a good opener to.
