I can believe it. My nephews are identical twins, and not at all identical. They look very similar, of course, and are nearly indistinguishable if they style their hair exactly the same and wear the same clothes, but they have very different personalities. One of them is even gay, but the other is straight. One is outgoing, the other is a quiet introvert, etc.
Colloquially the family has always called them mirror image twins, because coincidentally they had some early moles on their face that happened to be on opposite sides from each other, but IIRC the term actually means something else. They are in fact monozygotic.
- danieltillett 6y agoYes they are likely to be mirror twins [0]. 0. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twin#Semi-identical_twins https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twin#Semi-identical_twins
- rootusrootus 6y agoWell look at that, I stand corrected. Or, correct to begin with, depending on how you look at it :). I misunderstood another definition of mirror image twins that I had read, but I see now that it does describe pretty accurately the differences between my nephews. Fascinating!
