The topic she has discussed was all about individual differences which are
defined as variation or deviation of an individual from the average of the group

habit, personality, and character traits.
There are two (2) major factors affecting individual differences. These include
heredity and environment. Heredity is the factor of differences that came from the
parents while the environment refers to all the factors that are acquired by an individual
from his/her surroundings. Heredity is consists of intelligence, physical conditions,
