To come up with an answer, Plomin and other researchers did study after study. They were trying to tease out what role genes played in the personality differences they saw, and what role the environment played in those differences. When they began, they assumed, like everyone else, that being raised in the same environment would be one of the things that made children similar. This, however, is not what they found. Not similar to one another -- different. Why is it that being raised in the same family pushes children in opposite directions in terms of personality?
The first is a view popularized by a Darwin scholar named Frank Sulloway. In Sulloway's view, competition is the engine that pushes evolution -- just as in the wild. Therefore, in the context of a family, one of the main things that's happening is that children are competing for the time, love and attention of their parents.
The role of divergence is basically to minimize competition so it's not direct. And that leads to specialization in different niches. So if one child in a family seems to excel at academics, to avoid direct competition, the other child -- consciously or unconsciously -- will specialize in a different area, like socializing.
Sulloway says he saw a small version of this happen in his own family. His elder brother was a great tennis player, and he eventually became a professional tennis player. Sulloway says he never in his life was able to take a set from his brother. I just was never going to be as good in tennis as he was.
The second theory has a slightly confusing name; it's called the non-shared environment theory, and it essentially argues that though from the outside it appears that we are growing up in the same family as our siblings, in very important ways we really aren't. We are not experiencing the same thing.
Upcoming Events
If you are three or five years behind your sibling, the experience of a 5-year-old whose parents get divorced is very different from the experience of a 9-year-old or a year-old. Also, McHale says, children in the same family are rarely treated the same by their parents, even if parents want to treat them the same.
They have different personalities that are eliciting different treatment from parents. The final theory is the comparison theory, which holds that families are essentially comparison machines that greatly exaggerate even minor differences between siblings.

Imagine, says McHale, two friendly children born in the same family. In the context of any other family, says McHale, the second child would be considered an extrovert. And once the introvert label is assigned -- even if in an absolute sense it's not really true -- it influences the choices that the child makes. Tom and Eric Hoebbel with their father, who died in So, why are Tom and Eric Hoebbel so different?
Both said the answer was clear. In their case, it wasn't Darwinian. Eric especially was convinced he didn't gravitate toward the path he's on to be different from his brother. Instead they point to the death of their father.
When their father died, Tom was 17 and heading off to college -- but Eric was only So, in a sense, they grew up in different homes. Tom, the radical, grew up in a secure, two-parent home. But Eric the financial planner, as Tom points out, spent many years as the only man in a house destabilized both emotionally and financially by death.
