Neuroticism(N)
• N is a strong predictor of the onset of depression
• N is subject to genetic effects that are shared with depression

Dear Sirs STRESS QUESTIONNAIRE My doctors have sent me one of your questionnaires. The questions in it are so banal that I will not answer them or return it. I am perplexed that a reputable research institution could expect people to answer such complex questions like these with simple yes/no answers. Anyone with a basic understanding of human nature must realise that people who reply are clearly not worth asking. Have you thought of finding out if the tendency to own colour televisions is inherited? I have evidence that it is? Or have I missed the point? Are you really trying to find out if people are prepared to waste their time:
Filling in questionnaires Or
Writing letters? I am pleased to report that a number of my work colleagues have also received copies of the questionnaire and that they have either consigned them to the rubbish bin or returned them with random and fictitious answers. I am amazed that you have the gall to waste money (no doubt not your own) on this fatally flawed exercise Yours faithfully,

The Neurotic Family Receives a DNA Swab Request From Dr
Flint
“ I have just received your request to send a mouth swab. This is the last straw. My holiday has just been cancelled, my son has influenza and my husband has left me. Now this from you! It is the END!”
