From the Paper:

"The question of whether or not personality development is completed as early as age five has been looked at by researchers for many years each using many different methodologies. According to Caspi, it is a particularly difficult question to study "because it requires costly and time-consuming longitudinal studies that track people over time and across multiple developmental studies" (158). Because of this problem, methodological questions have been raised about many of the studies that have been done."
