Inside your results

Explore what your report can help you understand.

Every insight across MapMyGene’s three tests. Each one should be read as context for a better conversation, not a fixed answer about your future.

Inborn Talent Gene Test

Talent & trait insights

Explore the talent test

Discover their potential. Understand their individuality. Help them grow.

Every child is unique. Some naturally gravitate toward creative expression, some enjoy solving complex problems, some thrive in social environments, while others prefer to observe, reflect and understand before they engage.

The Inborn Talent Gene Test explores 46 genetic insights across personality, cognitive tendencies, creativity, emotional and social characteristics, sports, physical traits and wellbeing.

These insights give parents another perspective for understanding their child’s individuality and identifying areas worth exploring, encouraging and nurturing as they grow.

DNA does not determine a child’s future. Education, environment, experiences, interests and personal development all play major roles. Instead, ITGT adds another layer of information that can help parents make more informed decisions about the opportunities and support they provide.

Personality & character

11 insights

Understand the personality behind the behaviour.

Every child responds to the world differently. One may embrace unfamiliar experiences enthusiastically, while another approaches them cautiously. Some persist through challenges naturally, while others may benefit from additional encouragement. Some remain composed under pressure, while others respond more emotionally.

The goal isn’t to label your child’s personality. It’s to understand their individuality.

  • Optimism
  • Risk-taking
  • Persistence
  • Shyness
  • Composure
  • Behavioural & Mood Tendencies
  • Hyperactivity & Attention
  • Depressive Tendencies
  • Impulsivity
  • Attentiveness
  • Adaptability

Intelligence & cognitive traits

7 insights

Every child can learn. The way they learn may be different.

Academic performance shows what a child has achieved so far. It doesn’t always reveal how that child naturally approaches information, remembers it, analyses problems or generates ideas.

Instead of asking “How intelligent is my child?”, ask “How does my child appear to think and learn best?”

  • Intelligence
  • Comprehension
  • Analytical Thinking
  • Memory
  • Creativity
  • Reading Ability
  • Imagination

Artistic & creative talents

6 insights

Potential needs opportunity before it can be discovered.

A child may never discover an interest in music if they never experience an instrument. They may never discover an ability for visual expression if they are never encouraged to draw.

Don’t use DNA to choose their talent. Use it to discover what may be worth exploring.

  • Performing
  • Music
  • Drawing
  • Dancing
  • Literature
  • Linguistic Ability

Emotional & social traits

8 insights

Understand how your child may naturally connect, feel and respond.

Children experience and express emotions differently. Some naturally show affection openly. Others may be more reserved. Some seek frequent social interaction, while others are comfortable with smaller circles or more independent activities.

  • Affection
  • Bonding Tendencies
  • Passion
  • Adolescent Relationship Tendencies
  • Sentimentality
  • Sociability
  • Self-Reflection
  • Self-Control

Sports & athletic traits

6 insights

Discover how your child’s body may respond to different forms of physical activity.

Athletic ability isn’t a single characteristic. Endurance, explosive speed, coordination, response to training, psychological approach and injury susceptibility can all contribute differently to physical performance.

The most appropriate activity is not simply the one suggested by genetics — it is one where ability, interest, opportunity and enjoyment come together.

  • Endurance
  • Sprint
  • Technique
  • Training Response
  • Sports Injury Susceptibility
  • Sports Psychology

Physical & wellness traits

2 insights

Understand selected genetic influences on physical development and wellbeing.

Physical characteristics develop through a combination of genetics, nutrition, lifestyle, environment and developmental factors.

Genes contribute to the starting picture, while development continues to be shaped by many factors.

  • Height
  • General Wellness

Health & environmental traits

3 insights

Understand how genetics may interact with lifestyle and environment.

Children don’t necessarily respond to environmental influences in identical ways.

Genes may influence susceptibility. Environment remains something you can influence.

  • Obesity Susceptibility
  • Sensitivity to Second-Hand Smoke
  • Lower Genetic Sensitivity to Second-Hand Smoke

Addiction & behavioural risk traits

3 insights

Awareness today can support healthier choices tomorrow.

Susceptibility to addictive behaviours is complex and can involve genetics, environment, social influences, mental health, life experiences and access to substances.

Awareness — not prediction.

  • Alcohol Dependence Susceptibility
  • Nicotine Dependence Susceptibility
  • Addictive Behaviour Susceptibility

How to read a report

Useful insight needs three layers of context.

  1. 01What was foundThe genetic association and the evidence used to interpret it.
  2. 02What it may meanA plain-language explanation of relevance and limitations.
  3. 03What to do nextQuestions to discuss with family, educators or a qualified health professional.

Good questions first

Before you decide.

Genetic testing is personal. Resolve these questions before purchasing any test.

Anyone! A DNA test can be performed at any age.

The ITGT provides valuable insights for individuals at any stage of career, emotional or personality growth. We recommend taking the ITGT as early in life as possible. Parents can give their children a head start in life to set a foundation to develop their children’s natural dispositions early.

Adults who find themselves at a career crossroad find it particularly useful to have an ITGT test done, as the career profiling aspect of the ITGT can help guide individuals towards careers they are most suited for according to their innate ability that they might not even be aware of.
