来自艾森克人格量表的外向性（E）和神经质（N）量表得分的相似性在7，144对成年双胞胎中进行了评估，这些双胞胎来自基于人口的芬兰双胞胎队列，作为双胞胎遗传相似性，性别，年龄和他们彼此社会交往的频率的函数。为了将共享基因的影响与共享经验的影响分开，我们对双输入数据矩阵进行了分层多元回归。结果建立了遗传和经验影响的预测意义：遗传影响仍然显着测试后，社会接触的影响首先被删除;相反，对于N分数，社会接触的影响仍然显着评估后，遗传影响首先被删除。这些发现确立了成人人格主要方面的遗传差异，但也为共同经历赋予了重要作用。第一个发现建设性地复制了其他人的报告;第二个挑战了普遍存在的假设，即共同的经历对成人人格中兄弟姐妹相似性的影响可以忽略不计。
Similarities for Extraversion (E) and Neuroticism (N) scale scores from the Eysenck Personality Inventory were evaluated in 7,144 adult twin pairs, drawn from the population-based Finnish Twin Cohort, as a function of the co-twins' genetic resemblance, gender, age, and the frequency of their social interaction with each other. To separate effects of shared genes from those of shared experience, we performed hierarchical multiple regressions of double-entry data matrices. Results establish the predictive significance of both genetic and experiential influences: Genetic effects remained significant when tested after the effects of social contact were first removed; conversely, for N scores, the effects of social contact remained significant when assessed after genetic influences were first removed. These findings establish genetic variance in major dimensions of adult personality but assign a significant role to common experience as well. The first finding constructively replicates reports by others; the second challenges the widespread assumption that shared experiences have a negligible impact on sibling similarity in adult personality.
