It is generally agreed that personality is both genetic and influenced by environmental factors. The biological aspects of our personality can be largely attributed to the brain. We know this because there have been cases of personality changes in people after accidents or strokes resulting in damage to the brain. However, it's worth noting that not everything we associate with personality is in the brain. Someone's energy level, which we often attribute to their personality, is really more to do with their overall health. Someone who runs 10 miles every morning doesn't just have a stronger passion for running than someone who never runs, they probably have a stronger heart. Also, sex hormones, such as testosterone, can certainly effect levels of aggression and sexual desire, and they aren't just in the brain.
