The idea that an individual is born without a personality is Tabula Rasa.

Explanation:

Tabula Rasa refers to the notion that people are a blank slate when they are born. This means that they are shaped by their individual environments and their social surroundings and what they are taught in school for example. It does away with the idea that there are innate dimensions to our nature in terms of personality and beliefs. You learn to process information as you are raised in childhood and instilled with reasoning and beliefs. Philosopher John Locke used the notion to counter Thomas Hobbes's idea that humans are innately conflictive and selfish.
