It's funny because personality is still about 50% genetic (though it can be complex: https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/under-the-influence/201307/do-genes-influence-personality https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/under-the-influence/201... )
For instance in Twin studies, we regularly find that if one twin becomes an addict, so will the other, even if they're raised differently.
Compassion also seems to be partly genetic as well.
