Imagine a hundred exact clones of you were born to random mothers across your country the same year you were. Today, you all have a giant clone meeting, and take a wide array of psychological tests. How similar to each other would you expect all yall to roughly be?

I have some unique insight on this. My wife is from a sperm doner who was used for at least 13 pregnancies. We’ve met several of her half siblings and even then the similarities are shocking.

Right around 50%. Owning multiple dogs of the the same breed with highly specialized jobs and watching them perform complex tasks together without language, or training, has made me suspect that we severely under-estimate genetics and behavior.

I'm pretty sure my personality has been strongly influenced by my childhood, but I'd still say the similarities would be 50-75% simply because genetics are a pretty strong factor.
