Thanks so much for reading and responding so fully. I have found DNA a journey. At times it isn't what I want it to be or what I thought and the results of traits should always be taken with a grain of skeptism, as they can change when newer data is found, just like my trait from extrovert to introvert, with more updated studies and I do think its more accurate. If nothing else the awareness itself brings us to question why we do things or behave in certain ways. We may never fully know for sure however by DNA, unless the traits are so obviously similar to the results. The downside I find is that it can be disconcerting to find a trait has changed overnight, so it might be wise not to base one's identity too much reliant on DNA traits, as environment factors make up for so much of who we are. At best DNA can be insightful and revealing, and at worst, can be possibly misleading if they are interpreted without critical analysis and thinking. I am glad you didn't have the DNA marker for the disease. That must be a relief to know.
