Recall watson's quote: "give me a dozen healthy infants, well-formed, and my own specified world to bring them up in and i'll guarantee to take any one at random and train him to become any type of specialist i might select-doctor, lawyer, artist, merchant chief, and yes, even beggar-man and thief, regardless of his talents, penchants, tendencies, abilities, vocations and race of his ancestors." if 1 = extreme nature and 10 = extreme nurture, where would you place watson on the nature vs. nurture issue?

I will place Watson on the nature vs. nurture issue at "9 or 10".

There is an eternal debate going on the issue of Nature versus Nurture where one group says that the Nature shapes an individual's personality and it is in he nature of someone what hey might turn out to be while the other group favoring Nurture argues that it is the environment and as Watson said what training has been given to an individual which shapes them.
