The nature vs. nurture theory is a very debatable subject, so debatable that many areas of interest have been developed to attempt to answer this question and/or decide on which factor has more influence.

There has been significant data linking intelligence with socio-economic, environmental, and biological factors, suggesting that nature and nurture are intertwined, meaning that our personalities are shaped by both.
