It'd probably be fake, but altering some genetic personality traits to another set that is admirable to the person would be geniune in one way: admiration of those traits, i.e. slothful to dynamic. Anyway...would that person have to put up an act everytime or would he/she gradually adapt to the personality until it becomes a lot more natural?
Any tips on changing?

"Gosh F G!
Genetics certainly plays a part, but, the argumentative area is "how much."
According to Freud and Jung, personality is developed over a consequential amount of time maturing from childhood. Different phases in the maturation process brings to life the changes.
In adolescence, the brain is learning empathy and sympathy and a myriad of other mechanisms (mostly of defence). In young adulthood there's other steps everyone takes in adjustment.
It appears, for the most part, that we're changing all the time, but, no one can adequately measure it except those whose maturity is a sudden awareness ... that they're adults and ready for the attendant responsibilities."

I don't believe personality is all genetic. There are so many identical twins that are the exact opposites with their personality, even though they have the same genes. It has a lot to do with what happens after you are born, how you are treated, possibly even birth order.
I think it evolves over time, and it can change. I used to be a very extremely shy person, but now I'd have no problem giving a presentation on something for an hour. Personality is changeable, it's ever changing, sometimes for the best, sometimes not.

Hormones make the world go round. Whatever a person's natural personality, it can be altered chemically, through surgery, brain damage. But there are natural limits to your tolerance for and need for stimulation that are pretty much set at birth that prevent a "bookworm" feeling natural in the role of "life of the party." Various sorts of reprogramming like NLP can help, but it's tough.

Yes you can, but for this you need personal genetic laboratory with more profys in this scientific search, many money... and.... and you so want to change something in your personality? Bee cool.
