Only one trait has a published, well-powered genetic score: how easily someone gets upset under stress. Inside Left computes that one, the same way every time, and says what it can't tell you.
Synthetic genomes, 35 for each of eight origins, from lower to higher than average. The player's likely origin is suggested from their nationality, and the report shows it at lower, around and higher side by side, so you see how little genetics would move the picture. Never picked from the interview, never the player's data, and marked everywhere: not the player's DNA.
The file they already have from 23andMe, AncestryDNA or MyHeritage, with their own, separate consent. Read in memory, scored, and not kept.
You order the kit; the case tracks it. The interview goes ahead meanwhile, and the report waits until you upload the lab's result.
The origin is suggested from the player's nationality, which is not the same as ancestry; you can change it. The level is never taken from the interview: a profile picked to match what the player said would only echo it and look like a second, independent source.
Measured on 1000 Genomes people held out of the reference panel: their chip-only data, filled in by the engine, against their true complete score.
| People held out | Filled-in vs. true score | Chip only vs. true score |
|---|---|---|
| European (100) | 0.98 | 0.48 |
| African (60) | 0.94 | 0.53 |
| Latin American (40) | 0.99 | 0.54 |
| East Asian (40) | 0.97 | 0.62 |
| South Asian (40) | 0.97 | 0.54 |
Correlations (r). This is agreement with the published score, not with personality: the score itself explains only a few percent of the differences in neuroticism between people, which is why it never outweighs the interview.
