Welcome to our Message Board. Our topic is the inheritance of personality traits. Our premise is that some character traits are determined by genetics, and these traits can be traced in a family pedigree. This Board is hosted by Donna Hobgood, M.D. (moderator) and A.M. Benis, Sc.D., M.D. The board focuses on NPA personality theory, by which the three major heritable character traits are Narcissism (sanguinity), Perfectionism and Aggression, but you need not subscribe to any particular theory to post on this Board. No password is required, but inappropriate postings will be deleted.

Quiz: Can you find eight different NPA character types in the image above?
