Why would a shared environment have such little effect on personality development?
◦ A shared environment doesn't mean shared experiences or shared reactions to those experiences; what one sibling perceives as "harsh parenting" could be perceived as "typical" by another.
◦ Genetics generally accounts for about 70 percent to 80 percent of the variance explained in personality characteristics; there simply isn't much variation left to be explained by environment.
◦ The shared environment cannot be quantified or defined adequately; therefore, any influence it may have on personality development is likely to be haphazard at best.
◦ "Shared environment" is not a construct that personality psychologists endorse; rather, it is a concept borrowed from sociology and applied inexpertly to the study of personality.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
