✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Biological, psychological, and socio-cultural factors play a crucial role in the determination of personality. According to Gardner Murphy and other psychologists, biological factors (such as the nervous system, endocrine glands, and heredity) set the limits of an individual's physical and mental capacities, while the socio-cultural environment (family, society, values, and norms) provides a specific direction and shape to these capacities. This complex interaction represents the true nature of personality development.
