一项纵向双胞胎研究旨在确定在青春期具有显著遗传性的人格特质在成年后是否仍然如此。一组双胞胎的子样本在青春期接受了明尼苏达多相人格调查表和加州心理调查表的测试，12年后再次接受了同样的两项调查。发现子样本代表了从中抽取子样本的样本。在研究的两个年龄段中发现了不同的显著遗传性模式：一些人格特质在青春期或成年期表现出显著遗传性的证据，而另一些则在两个年龄段都表现出显著遗传性的证据。此外，从青春期到成年期的变化，遗传的影响被发现的几个人格特质。这些结果为解释双胞胎研究和理解遗传对人格发展的影响提出了重要问题。
A longitudinal twin study was conducted to determine whether personality traits with significant heritability in adolescence remain so in adulthood. A subsample of a group of twins who had been administered in Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory and the California Psychological Inventory in adolescence was readministered the same two inventories 12 years later. The subsample was found to be representative of the sample from which it was drawn. Different patterns of significantly heritability were found for the two ages studied: Several personality traits demonstrated evidence of significant heritability in either adolescence or adulthood, while others demonstrated evidence of significant heritability at both ages. In addition, genetic influences on the change from adolescence to adulthood were found for several personality traits. The results raise important questions for the interpretation of twin research and the understanding of genetic influences on personality development.
