Exact doesn’t exist. What is meaningful is that twins raised far apart by random parents have striking similarities.
Googling “twins raised apart” provides a handful of stories.
One of the more interesting is the story of the Korean twins having a “huge IQ difference”, the lower experienced less stability in her upbringing. Otherwise their personalities were the same. This is interesting as twins raised together often have different personalities, probably drawn from their (possibly subconscious) intentions not to be too similar.
- mindcrime 4y agoAgree with everything you say. That said, just to add some context, and for anybody who might not be aware... even "identical" twins aren't actually strictly identical. That probably goes without saying for the most part, but the amount of differences that can be found in monozygotic (identical) twins turns out be somewhat surprising.
