So far my research on heritable personality traits indicates that there are 
traits more heritable than others. I need to know what personality traits are 
the most heritable. I know that traits require more then one gene and are 
affected by the persons enviroment.

 I just need to know what science has found out in behavioral genetics. So far 
I can find tons of links on disease or mental illness but little on traits 
such as "enjoys reading" or "novelty seeking" That is I have found those two 
as examples but no information on why they are heritable or how they are 
heritable. I really just want a list of known heritable personality traits and 
a little information on why these traits are more heritable than others. At 
this point even good links would help. Thank you for your time.
