" What this study showed was【C12】______the identical twins in a family were very similar in personality and in well-being, and【C13】______, the non-identical twins were only around half as similar," Bates said.

People with positive inherited personality traits may, in effect, also have a reserve of happiness to【C18】______in stressful times, he said.
