The present research was conducted to study the difference between personality traits of identical and fraternal twins. At the same time it studies the personality traits of identical twins as well as fraternal twins. Two scales were administered that included self constructed demographic data and California Psychological Inventory.One hundred and twenty participants were interviewed during the present study. The sample was drawn from different areas of NWFP that included Malakand, Charsadda, Swabi, Mardan, and Peshawar. These participants belonged to the upper middle and lower socio-economic classes.. All participants were interviewed individually and their responses were recorded on the spot by the researcher. It was indicated that identical and fraternal twins have few differences in their personalities. It was concluded that despite sharing the same genes, their different environment, parents rearing practices and education do bring changes in their personalities. If family environment is good and they have better education and recreation facilities and their living standard is good, the child’s personality will be composed and balanced. Parents and other people should understand such twins and treat them as separate individuals because they have individual personalities.
