I'm not sure, the article doesn't mention any of that.

It actually tries (weakly) to claim the opposite, with statements like "Carlos and Wilber both had very similar white mobile phones" and "We are a little bit more ego-centric, bigger flirts."

Nothing about nurture playing a role though.

The best reference I can currently come up with is this comment by tokenadult who has a longstanding interest in twin studies:
