Nature vs. Nurture

[Tempus]

I am of the mind that nearly every personality quirk we have is a combination of both.

Beat me to it. I don't understand why it needs to be nature or nurture. There's probably specific cases where it's only one, but the two aren't mutually exclusive.

I personally think nurture plays a very big role in child development, although I don't think we're born as blank slates. I think people can be easily conditioned, especially at a young age. For example, fear of most things, in my opinion, is learned. I'm only a layman in psychology though.
