MyHeritage DNA Trait reports offer a fascinating glimpse at your unique characteristics. These everyday traits are shaped by genetics, environment, and lifestyle, though the genetic influence varies widely from trait to trait. The reports focus on helping you understand the genetic role in what makes you you, but please note that other factors are also highly important in how those characteristics manifest.
The 40 DNA Trait reports are divided into five main groups: Personality, Nutrition, Fitness, Lifestyle, and Cognition. Below is a summary of what each category covers:
Personality: The way you think, feel, and interact with others — for example, empathy, risk-taking, and leadership.
Nutrition: Food preferences and eating habits, such as sugar cravings and snacking tendencies.
Fitness: Physical performance, for example, strength, endurance, and exercise recovery.
Lifestyle: Sleep patterns, stress levels, and overall wellness.
Cognition: Memory, problem solving, and other cognitive abilities.
