Adopted monozygotic twins who were separated at birth were to be reunited later on as adults. The purpose of this study was to see if monozygotic twins that were raised together (MZT) were more similar than monozygotic twins that were raised apart (MZA). The twins each had one week visit, testing about 50 hours every week. These tests included four personality trait
