So yesterday in my biology class we were watching a documentary entitled "Cracking Your Genetic Code" (you can watch it here: ,
and it reminded me of this thread: cognitivetype.boards.net/thread/51/genetics-cognitivetype-identical-twins.
I wondered: would it be possible to use whole genome sequencing technology to determine type? If type is indeed genetic, then shouldn't it be possible to see someone's type through their genome reading? I'm not quite sure, as my knowledge of genetics is quite limited, but does anyone else have more extensive knowledge? And a question to the general population of the forum: what do you think of this?
I feel it is worth noting that as far as I know this technology is not feasible to most people due to costs. I also feel it will be a while before anyone notices a particular trend in the codes, let alone actually links it to cognitive functions.
