Traits - Processing-speed tendency
Download PDF creates a visual, rasterized copy. Use Print for selectable text and better assistive-technology support.
Information processing speed measures how quickly people can take in and respond to information, often using reaction-time tasks.
GWAS work has identified variants linked to processing speed, with overlap with general cognitive ability.
This result reflects research-level variation in cognitive biology and is not a clinical or academic test.
Sleep, attention, age, alcohol, medications, mood, and overall health all strongly affect actual processing speed.

Average genetic tendency
This is a weak, population-level genetic association, not a personal diagnosis or a definitive trait.

DNA Genics reports genotypes based on the 'positive' strand of the human genome reference sequence (build 37/HG19). Other companies may use the opposite strand, so genotypes may need conversion for comparison.
The following peer-reviewed scientific studies support the genetic associations analyzed in this report.
