OK, so I posted a thread about which parent you look more like but just because you look more like one parent, doesn't mean your personality is like theirs.

I would my personality is 70% like dad's and 30% like my mom's. If you are adopted or something, you may choose which set of parents to use for this questions if you know your biological family. If you just know your adoptive family, you may use them.

I'm told I'm more like a mixture of my two grandfathers

I'm a mixture of both, leaning more towards my mom.

I am so similar to my dad that, if he were not still alive, I would suspect that I am the reincarnation of him.

Every single time he has told me about an experience in his life, or a lesson he has learned from his life, I find it improbably applicable to my own life. But he was never diagnosed, he just learned to cope and appear normal by using various "tricks" he figured out. He passed these "tricks" on to me.

I have my dads personality/quirks, and my mothers problem solving skills, but my dads blunt intelligence. I also have my dads problems...

And one of my uncles interests/quietness.

From mum:
- Artistic skills, interest in fantasy, and family-line positive biological traits
From dad:
- Hair, social difficulties, guitar interest, not being weirded out by people who play RPGs, a bit of sic-fi interest

From neither: The inability to do any kind of math. No idea how that happened, my dad, brother, and just about everyone else on his side are math geniuses, and mum's side at least knows how to do more than basics xD

I think I can safely say that neither, though I'm not sure how that happened.

My dad. We are both childlike and easily irritated, as well as creative and highly intelligent (or so other people tell us). We both have trouble cleaning up after ourselves and we obsess over TV shows/movies.

I'm a lot like my dad. My husband can see where I get my behavior from.

My dad. We are both smart introverts, not very emotional. I have nothing incommon with my mother, although we get along much better.

I'm much more like my mom, although I have my dad's sense of humour.

I'm not sure.
I know, I inherited my creativity and my practical thinking from my Mom. Also, she has some AS-like character features. However, my attitude towards life, money and problem solving is more like my Dad's. My sense of humour and taste in music and movies is most like my brother's. And it was my Granddad who taught me how to love and appreciate nature and all living creatures.
I think I've got something from all the members of my family but there's no significant similarity to a certain one of them.

I am more like my mum. Her side of the family are shy, introverted people, and all have this trait in them where they're really sweet-natured people, and too sweet-natured for their own good. The trait must have affected me the strongest and has made me Aspie.
