Which of the following statements is most accurate regarding personality stability? Because it has a biological basis in infant temperament, personality remains fairly stable throughout the lifespan. Personality is mostly influenced by social roles and norms, so it is difficult to predict accurately. People make many characteristic adaptations throughout life, which can cause substantial changes in personality over time. Personality tends to be stable in adulthood but can only be predicted from about age 15 or older.
