1. All those behavioral traits which define what it is to be human. Although I have physical traits the question is psycho behavioral, the only thing I can say is I see the very patient, non-aggressive side from my mother in me.
2. The question is somewhat vague, environment regarding social, ecological, industrial? Younger generations over the past 100 years have progressively become more sophisticated than their parents. I had better math and science skills, mostly because I was exposed to them. Although I dove into computers in the late 1970s, my older son is a wizard at it.
3. There was a major disconnect between me and my parents regarding activities. No sports to speak of, or hobbies. The only ones that I am somewhat involved in is I enjoy working on cars, and some fishing, from my father.
4. Work ethic. I'm not afraid of hard work, long hours, whatever it takes. Much of this is from my early sports exposure (cross-country running, basketball, football, track, many marathons). My parents had nothing to do with this.
5. Recreational only. Profession is an office environment because I'm a retired engineer.
