How come animals have different personalities?

13 posts in this topic

Animals have different personalities..

For example some dogs are more aggressive than others, some are more shy, some are loud, quiet, etc...
Doesn't even have to depend on the breed.

BUT... If personality is a product of identification with the ego, then how come animals have different personality traits?

I’m thinking because ego identification is a spectrum rather than a binary. The animals we most closely relate to tend to be the ones we see as having a “personality.”

 

Monkeys and dogs clearly seem to have personalities to us. Birds? Ants? Not so much.

It has a great ending. I love the reaction of the bird on the left.

@Tistepiste The fish in the aquarium have different personalities even among same species and sex. Just noted as an observation.

Personality is shaped by environment, genetics, and upbringing.
