Gothenburger Rami Metto changed completely as a person when the winnings trickled into his account four years ago. Now he could finally do everything he dreamed of. But not all change was good, he says in Your Personality.
– I didn’t want to become a “toxic” personality just because I had money, he says.
“People seem to adapt”
Major events in life affect us in different ways. A lottery win, an accident or the death of a loved one can make you change as a person. But according to Robert Plomin, one of the world’s leading personality researchers, research indicates that people eventually go back to how they were before.
– Even people who become paralyzed, which surprises me. Even though something terrible has happened, people seem to adapt. If you were social before the incident, you will be social after, says Robert Plomin.
– I think it is uplifting to know that we are not just thrown around by fate, he says.
