Thrill-seeking tendency

Achievement Potential

Adventurousness research looks at how strongly people are drawn to novelty, sensation, and risk-tinged experiences.

GWAS work has identified variants linked to self-reported adventurousness, with overlap with personality traits like openness and risk tolerance.

This result reflects research-level variation in personality biology and is not a personality test.

Age, mood, peer group, life stage, and current context all strongly shape actual thrill-seeking behavior.

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.
