The sheer level of complexity required to even hazard an answer to your question is astounding. However, you should really draw a line between cognitive ability and personality as they are both distinct entities; however, that is not to say that they do not interact as personality and cognition are inextricably linked. Major areas of consideration towards personality and cognition would be the number of synapses, as the higher the number of synapses the more information can be processed at an accelerated rate. Also, variations of the hippocampus and ACh play a role in cognition as the two are linked to assimilation of long term and short term memory. Levels of monoamines and their respective receptors, and the concentrations of the receptors in various areas of the brain would play a major role in personality, mood stability, etc.
