Your personality at age six is your personality for life.Researchers from the University of California, Riverside compared teacher personality ratings of 144 elementary students in the 1960s to interviews those same students completed 40 years later. They found that behaviors observed by the teachers when the students were in first grade were almost always predictive of their personality in middle age.
"We remain recognizably the same person," concluded Christopher Nave, who authored the study. "This speaks to the importance of understanding personality because it does follow us wherever we go across time and contexts."
So why is it, if our personality is set at age 6, you don't see more adults walking around with juice boxes?

Well, they just shot their credibility all to hell in the first paragraph.
'Your personality at age six is your personality for life.'; followed by 'almost always predictive' is more or less a conundrum. You can't make an absolute statement like the first sentence, then follow it up with 'almost always'. It's made even worse by adding 'predictive'.
And then, in the second paragraph, '"We remain recognizably the same person,"' is NOT in line with the first sentence, again.
Complete BS. In first grade, I wasn't shy or self-conscious about myself or actions, i wasn't an a-hole with a chip on his shoulder, I wasn't funny, nor an alcoholic.
Hey, at least I'm pretty now.

eric berne, i believe, wrote "I'm Ok, You're Ok" the psychology of transactional analysis... in which he postulated that all of the three base parts of the personality, The Parent, The Adult and The Child, were formed by 5-6 years old. great book.
