IMO it's not so much about the age but when the individual faced the first real adversity. I was lucky enough to have it relatively easy and I think I only "grew up" after a few years in my first job.
If they want to, they will. At any age
I fundamentally changed in my late 30s (around 38). 🤷♀️
How so
From a formal psychological standpoint, personality solidifies in early childhood. (This is a technicality and likely not what you are referring to when you say “personality”.) That said, with enough willpower, anyone can change. They may have to work against their impulses (and that may not go away), but they can absolutely change their own perspectives and behavior and make fighting their own impulse easier over time by forming good coping mechanisms and habits. I personally think core values solidify very early, but lots of people do not realize the ways in which they are working against their own core values until the lightbulb happens, which could be at any point in their lives, often in the late teens to early thirties.
