Overall Commentary and Personal Advice regarding Career, Relationship and Wellbeing

At this time, we begin to conduct some analysis by weighing your bio data and distortingsome details by applying psychological postulations. It is possible you could get severalrecommendations with regards to the advancement of some groupings. The essence is tobring up some strategies that would enable you to know yourself better. This will beexplained further in the wellbeing section. In the first place, there is the need for us to review your all-inclusive swiftness/ operationlevel which is to determine the effectiveness of getting used to the latest conditions. Werate your scores in the distribution spontaneous, decisive, optimist, risk-taker, innovative.Your DNA and transparency obtained from your psychology profile help in detectingconceivable hindrances.We just discovered one circumstance which may cause some negative impact. While yourscoring in the category optimism is average or above, your scores in the categoriesspontaneous, decisive, risk taker and innovative are below average. Your psychological profile fills the gap, but you should keep the focus on spontaneity, thewillingness to take (acceptable risks), to execute your decisions and your innovative power.Swiftness is the ability to determine how fast we get accustomed to unusual circumstances,but to continue in the correct way we require some supervision. Our simulational andaffectional coordination is continually watching, reacting, and representing a switchboard.It’s important to observe how the parts are configured. Let us first consider the OCEAN scaleNeuroticism.While your DNA shows an average score in the category Neuroticism your psychologicalprofile shows a healthy improvement with an even below average score. Which means ahigher emotional stability.In what ways do you cope with stress?You can handle stress very well. Ensure that you do not only focus on others but also onyourself. Through this you will gain your resources used by too much stress back!Calm is the category of keeping cool and relaxed even if there is much trouble around you.In difference to stress tolerance the calm personality doesn't estimates things around asstressful. Calmness implicates a higher cap on evaluating things as stressful, but if thingsare rated stressful it has the same impact on the person as it has to others.You have become by far more calm as DNA has provided you, having enoughcompensation to your strains. But taking care not to overload you with too many stress. Thisis always a good idea.How well do you accurately examine your emotions? Your emotional attitude is surely present. Being rational at the same time is the key tobecome successful. Emotions and rationality are equal partners don´t let one pay for theother.For you to maintain your level of motivation, there is a need to comply with some things:Have positive emotions. An epicurean is a worthy designation to have a first cognitiveexperience, as long as an Epicurean is the feature of people’s right to delight in differentvarieties of bliss. Regardless of the realm: the Epicurean peculiarity lifts his/her tumbler ofcocktail and comments.Enjoy your life completely! You are bon vivant by your development regardless if DNA scoreis much lower you keep this motto for life! You have to ensure that your everyday necessitiesgo on and that you are not blocked by work which isn't done or obligations.How would you utilize this self-exposition? We seek exclusively to base our study on theclassification of the profession, alliance, and wellbeing.

On account of your DNA explanations, it is believed that you are a robust leader and agreat Team player. As anticipated you would be a social and conscientious kind of aleader and Team player. This aptitude notion described above has to be studied inconnection to career. Innovation doesn´t stand on its own. How many patents made the way to a product? It isconnected to the other traits and depending on the focus and the business, it is more orless useful. Showing an improved score in the psychological profile you have realized thenecessary to be innovative. Additional improvement could be realized if you spread yourinterests and follow some topic which wouldn´t naturally come to your mind.Regarding career spontaneity is how quickly you are willing to adapt to a new workflowor task. You are showing a tremendous improvement here since your score has increasedfrom low to high. This should work in your favor, in business you have to check if it iseffective either. Spontaneity is just to be interrupted by a low acceptance to take risks.Being a risk taker doesn´t mean that you are suicidal, in fact it is the ability to accept thepossibility to accept losses. Take care that this trait is connected wisely to the other traits.Then it´s a great resource. You are prepared to take risks according to your psychologicalprofile. Your DNA profile would be a little more careful. Use your willingness to take onrisks as a resource, but don´t let her be the only decision maker.The evaluation of risks is strongly connected to the category optimist. Would you think apessimist would start a new business? Or would an optimist stops malinvestments? Yourpsychological profile has developed to your DNA accordingly. Because of your optimisticcharacter, we would never advise you in a pessimistic way. However, in our working life itmight be useful to synchronize our real success with our own valuation.We did analyze the aspects of having an idea, making a decision, thinking about theoutcome and the risk evaluation. Now let´s see how your capability to execute an decisionis working with that. Your DNA would not claim that you are above average decisivewhile your psychological profile would call you highly decisive. Well, you have thepotential to make solid decisions and push them through. In business a desiredcapability, ask yourself what could possibly slows you down? Sometimes, we lose thewhole picture even of ourselves, a good moment to take a step back.Immediately after aptitude, self-reliance and self-mastery are also significant.Confident in terms of business and career is nearly a must have. But you should be certainthat it has a solid basement. You can work on both, the feeling and the supportingarguments to believe it. It will work although both of your profiles are equal in scores. Youare confident. So you should be safe in your business and anywhere else. Keep it up!You have improved self-awareness by far. This is important in business because it makesyou capable of sensing your own and other intentions. Further improvement could bemade by explicitly analyzing others intention and trying to switch perspectivesfrequently.So, what else could be analyzed regarding career? Let´s see:You should keep focus on strategic approach, you already improved but it could becomeeven better. Being strategic in business is the ability to build a plan, which is successful inthe long run. Quick lucky shots aren´t that useful if you want to raise a business. Furtheryou need to be capable of executing this plan even if you are occasionally runningagainst bad luck.

Your DNA supplied you with a very high emotional intelligence/ quotient (EI) which is ofcourse very useful in an alliance. The quality of your alignment can be upgraded whenyou zoom in on the ensuing characteristics: Emotional, self-awareness and social. Weshall observe them carefully.Being emotional is obviously a handy trait in a partnership. You are showing aboveaverage scores in both profiles, sometimes this could be a challange, especially whenyour partner feels differently. It is important to talk about your emotions frequently.Muted emotions often explode. This is connected to our social attitude. Being socialsounds very nice, since it is the basic orientation of acting in others favor, sensing theirneeds, avoiding to harm people and so on. It further implicates skills of handlinginterpersonal situations without messing things up. The other way around you tend tounderestimate your own needs and well-being especially when you don`t have access toyour motivational system. Your score in both profiles is above average,somehow, thismakes partnership fulfilling if you have a partner who is returning the favour.Your DNA shows a much lower result in the category self-aware than you assessed in thepsychological profile. This indicates that you have improved your self-awareness! Self-awareness is the capacity for introspection and the ability to recognize oneself as anindividual separated from the environment and other individuals. Your improvement inthis category shows that you are well aware of yourself and your abilities and this shouldwork well in partnership.We need to add sex driven, though we are aware that it may be a sensitive distribution totalk about. Nevertheless, sex driven is the primary distribution of affiliation.Surely? You can’t express such words with some extra intentions. Sexual addiction is theclassification of a distinct strength necessary to obtain a sexual partner. It is only thestrength, no further thing. This strength is needed in accessing different routes to follow.Some clash could arise if the difference between your score and the score of your mate istoo much. Seems that you got a little push up in this category. Your psychological profileshows a higher score. So you can use this energy but be informed that this energy is notan endless resource.

We would prefer to sum up the critical variation in your biodata as a psychological idea.Wellbeing is associated with our personality roots. We are more likely to feel ill if we backaway from ourselves. The psychologist calls this estrangement. Our ability to fulfill ourdesires is vital to our level of wellbeing.1. Your improvement of spontaneity is a good development in gaining agility and,connected to that, improves well-being.2. In terms of well-being decisive is a handy trait making you able to influence and alteryour environment effectively. Combined with other traits, it opens many doors in life: youhave realized this, showing a higher score in your psychological profile than in your DNA.Since there isn´t a big difference, we suggest to keep this improvement consciously alive.Behavioural improvements are sometimes dropped in crisis, because they are notgenetically supported.3. You have learned to take more risk, allthough your DNA would naturally tell you to bemore cautious. If the reward weights the risks, go ahead. You don´t need to changestrategy unless you take too much losses.4. Having increased the category innovative is a good development, but it can be hard tokeep it up sometimes. Take care that you keep your overall resources healthy.5. Have you seen that your DNA score in the category bon vivant is remarkably lower thanyour psychological score? This could be an issue regarding well-being. Maybe you shouldcelebrate this with a good glass of wine.6. Self-awareness is a key category to well-being. You should further focus on this to makeyour overall personal development successful. Make sure that you see your interests,wishes and needs separated from the will of others. Focus on you development andyourself.It seems that you have already found your genetic destination, you improved on the lowerscoring categories of your DNA profile and have discovered your talents as well.

Thank you and keep inmind:

We apply the highest Swiss standards when it comes todata privacy and we employ high standards measures for

privacy and security. We are committed to retain thosemeasures to protect against the loss, misuse or alteration ofyour personal information under our control. DNA samples

are processed anonymously in ISO certified ( ISO9001:2008S and 17025:2005 (STS429) ) Swiss laboratories

and no one else other than you have access to your reportresults unless you decide to share it.

The results of the test should by no means be viewed as adefnitive assessment of your behavioral characteristics.

Your characteristics are the result of the long interplay ofyour DNA (Nature) with your Environment (Nurture), suchas your social and cultural background as well as your wayof life style. In other words, a healthy mixture of nature and

nurture. We are continuously updating our algorithm forDNA analysis, to incorporate the latest scientific advancesin DNA analysis. This is important so as to ensure accuracy,robustness and keeping up to date. However, due to thisupdate, if you re-take the test at a later stage, you might

get a result with a different score of up to 10%, (including astatistical error), when compared to your initial score.

Karmagenes test is a non health related test and we ONLYuse your DNA to link specifc genetic regions to personality

traits.
