You have a stronger tendency for seeking novelty
Sample result

Novelty Seeking Behavior

Individuals with high novelty seeking behavior tend to respond more dramatically to novel stimulation and reward signals, and make decisions more impulsively. It is a highly heritable personality trait. Novelty seeking has been found to have a positive correlation with extraversion and a negative correlation with conscientiousness.
You have a stronger tendency to be open-minded
Sample result

Openness

Openness indicates the extent to which a person is open to new experiences and ideas. Someone with a high level of openness is imaginative, curious, and open-minded. Psychologists have defined openness as one of the five psychological traits (the “Big 5”) forming the basis of personality.
You have a stronger tendency for having acute hearing ability.
Sample result

Hearing Ability

Hearing ability is heritable. While research is still in the early stages, a candidate causal gene for human hearing ability identified in the referenced study was found to play a role in early development and maintenance of hearing function in mouse models.
You tend to have an intermediate level of empathy
Sample result

Empathy

Empathy is the ability to perceive, identify, and respond to the emotions of others. Empathy helps individuals navigate social situations. As a healthy social life is an important facet of human well-being, having the ability to empathize is important for maintaining physical and mental health. Links between certain genetic markers and level of empathy were found in a research study that scored empathy based on a self-report survey.
You tend to experience hedonic well-being more frequently
Sample result

Hedonic Well-being

Hedonic well-being is the happiness derived from maximizing pleasure and avoiding pain. It is characterized by experiencing more of what we commonly refer to as "happiness", and experiencing less negative emotions such as anxiety and fear.
You have an intermediate tendency for using cannabis.
Sample result

Cannabis Use

Research shows that those who have high lifetime probability of cannabis use have certain personality trait associations. The expression level of the GWAS-identified loci was found to differ between cannabis users and non-users. Genetic variation on the most strongly associated gene, CADM2, is associated not just with increased tendency for cannabis use, but also with an optimistic and carefree personality.
You tend to have an intermediate affinity for red wine
Sample result

Affinity for Red Wine

Wine is one of the most beloved alcoholic drinks in the world. While recent research has identified a genetic marker indicating the preference for red wine, an affinity for red wine may equally likely develop due to exposure, preference of others, and social customs, even in the absence of such genetic variants. Interestingly, the effect of the genetic variant on affinity for red wine is twice as large in women than in men.
You tend to have a higher affinity for white wine
Sample result

Affinity for White Wine

Wine is one of the most beloved alcoholic drinks in the world. While recent research has identified a genetic marker indicating the preference for white wine, an affinity for white wine may equally likely develop due to exposure, preference of others, and social customs, even in the absence of such genetic variants. Interestingly, the effect of the genetic variant on affinity for white wine is twice as large in women than in men.
You have a weaker tendency for having high intelligence
Sample result

Intelligence

Intelligence, as measured by IQ tests, is correlated with important outcomes in life, such as educational attainment, income, and health. In the referenced study, over 50 genes were implicated in influencing individuals’ intelligence level. Further analysis found that these genes were predominantly expressed in the brain.
You have a higher tendency for strong cognitive ability
Sample result

Cognitive Ability

Cognitive functions encompass reasoning, memory, attention, and language. It leads directly to the attainment of information and, thus, knowledge. Besides interindividual differences resulting from genetic variation, formal education trains cognitive skills, so cognitive function is in large part a function of the quality and length of formal education received. This trait only informs on the genetic tendency for cognitive function and does not indicate your actual cognitive ability.
You tend to have greater muscular strength
Sample result

Muscular Strength

In this study, muscular strength was measured by grip strength. Muscular strength may be influenced by your dominant muscle type -- slow twitch (endurance) or fast twitch (power) -- and also your exercise habits. Grip strength was found to have positive correlation with cardiometabolic and cognitive health in this study.
You have a stronger tendency to be more reward dependent
Sample result

Reward Dependence

High reward dependence is characterized by a strong motivation to act in a way that earns social or emotional rewards. Extreme reward dependence may lead to personality or addictive disorders. This trait is moderately heritable, but mostly influenced by our upbringing and environment during development.
You have a stronger tendency for strong facial emotion recognition ability
Sample result

Facial Emotion Recognition Ability

The ability to recognize emotion, either from the face or from body language, is dirupted in many mental health disorders, such as schizophrenia, bioploar disorder, depression, autism spectrum disorder, etc. This may indicate a shared genetic underpinning, however, more research is required to validate this finding.
You have a stronger tendency to be extroverted
Sample result

Extraversion

Extraverts are energized by being around and interacting with other people. They tend to be enthusiastic, talkative, and don’t mind being the center of attention. Psychologists have defined extraversion as one of the five psychological traits (the “Big 5”) forming the basis of personality.
