    I believe it's partly inborn (all my 3 kids are different though they are raised in the same family!)

    And also shaped from young through life experiences and upbringing. That include moral and religious values taught from young. Also one's ingrained habits.

    from clinical point of view, one's personality comes from the following factors:

    1. Genes

    2. Values

    3. Environment

    4. Education

    Good question. Part of it is from personal experience, then some influence by friends and family. And maybe Krab's blessing too

    I have no idea where mine comes from I guess life in general I like to make sarcastic comments which makes people that don't know me very well think I'm mean but no I'm actually really nice.

    It comes from various aspects.Example:

    1) myself was raised in poor family, my parents taught me how to be modest and work hard.

    2) I spent 5 years in religious school (SMKA)..don't expect me to be a pious person but im really proud to be a SMKA student.

    3) befriend with ppl from diff background.

    4) Experience with men (lovelife)

    etc...........................

    From oneself actually.

    Also from life's experience, exposure and surrounding. It's nothing to do with formal education and religion.

    Fistly, personality emanated from your parents personal traits and your nature of upbringing.

    Secondly, money and wealth. These two dictates how you carry yourself and how you see life.
