For curiosity and entertainment. Behaviour is shaped by many genes, environment and life experience; no single variant determines how a person acts.
Important limitations
- Genetic variants may indicate predispositions or tendencies. They don't confirm a diagnosis, and a result only covers the variants tested.
- Behaviour and personality are shaped by many genes, environment and life experience. No single variant determines how a person acts.
- This test does not diagnose, treat, prevent or cure any condition, and it can't establish the cause of symptoms.
