Like I said in your wall, smaller personality traits are easily coded by DNA. That's because of DNA fingerprinting, that happens during the fusion of both haploid zygotes in the first days of fertilization.
This DNA fingerprinting randomly methylates certain genomic areas, while keeping other areas unmethylated. When a DNA area is methylated, it cannot be coded by DNA polymerase, thus that trait never appears in protein expression, while if the area is unmethylated, it can be expressed.
Given that also during this process of DNA fingerprinting, homologous recombination of the zygote aleli happens, there's always an extremely high probability of new traits being formed during this recombination (the recombination rate is 2^38, for non-methylated DNA).
That's why some traits of "personality" are coded by DNA, but it doesn't code for complex traits like if a person is wise or pre-disposed to idiocy. That's due to personal experience and environmental effects.

My 9th grade biology only goes so far!
Hmmm. So would a pre-disposition to say happiness or anger be able to be expressed? How simplistic are these traits?
