Answer: A good answer will include the following key points.
• Heritability is a statistical estimate of the proportion of the total variance in some trait that is attributable to genetic differences among individuals within a group.
• An example of a highly heritable trait is skin color.
• Most personality traits have relatively high heritability of .50.
• A trait with low heritability would be a preference for listening to jazz.
