    Lightbulb The Braverman Test

    Extensive and very enlightening personality/biology assessment Based on predominance and deficiency of one's neurotransmitters.

    You'll need paper & pen, you find the document here. It'll also take a little longer than the average test, there are 2x4 larger sets of questions to fill out. Explanations are provided.

     

    Dominant nature

    Dopamine 42
    Acetylcholine 19
    Serotonin 16
    GABA 13

    I also scored highest on dopamine. The questions about having a high body temperature and having veins that always seem about to pop out made me laugh as those are completely true for me. I always feel hot and need air moving over me.

    I did this before. Wish I had kept it. I will probably do it again but I am going to search my dna report first to see if I find anything relevant.

    I did the first part in my head and wrote the numbers. I don't think I am the social type this would suggest.

    Acetylcholine - 37
    Dopamine - 21
    Serotonin - 16
    GABA - 15

    Normal (A2/A2): Better avoidance of errors. Normal OCD risk, normal Tardive Diskinesia risk, lower ADHD risk. Less Alcohol dependence. Higher risk of Postoperative Nausea. Lower obesity. Bupropion is ... This DRD2 TaqIA A2/A2 version causes a normal amount of Dopamine Receptors. Learns from mistakes more easily. Men may have a higher risk of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder but lower risk of ADHD. Women have higher Persistence. Higher risk of Tardive Diskinesia when taking dopamine receptor antagonists. Lower risk of alcoholism and smoking addiction. Faster recovery from traumatic brain injury. 1.6x risk of early postoperative nausea within 6 hours of surgery. Bupropion (Wellbutrin, Budeprion, Prexaton, Elontril, Aplenzin, Zyban, Voxra) works to quit smoking. Lower obesity due to increased pleasure response to food.

    GABA - 16
    Serotonin - 9
    Acetycholine - 8
    Dopamine - 7

    More from my dna test:

    Other research indicates carriers of the short 5-HTTLPR allele have difficulty disengaging attention from emotional stimuli compared to long allele homozygotes.[31] Another study published in 2009 using an eye tracking assessment of information processing found that short 5-HTTLPR allele carriers displayed an eye gaze bias to view positive scenes and avoid negative scenes, while long allele homozygotes viewed the emotion scenes in a more even-handed fashion.[32] This research suggests that short 5-HTTLPR allele carriers may be more sensitive to emotional information in the environment than long allele homozygotes.

    You might have two short form 5-HTTLPR. You might have two short-form 5-HTTLPR (serotonin-transporter-linked polymorphic region). Variations in the region have been extensively investigated in connection with neuropsychiatric disorders. Identification of tag haplotypes for 5HTTLPR for different genome-wide SNP platforms

    Projection is ordinary. Person A projects at person B, hoping tovalidate something about person A by the response of person B. However, person B, not wanting to be an obejct of someone elses ego and guarding against existential terror constructs a personality which protects his ego and maintain a certain sense of a robust and real self that is different and separate from person A. Sadly, this robust and real self, cut off by defenses of character from the rest of the world, is quite vulnerable and fragile given that it is imaginary and propped up through external feed back. Person B is dimly aware of this and defends against it all the more, even desperately projecting his anxieties back onto person A, with the hope of shoring up his ego with salubrious validation. All of this happens without A or B acknowledging it, of course. Because to face up to it consciously is shocking, in that this is all anybody is doing or can do and it seems absurd when you realize how pathetic it is.

    I read "I believe in psychics" as "I believe in physics," and almost circled T.
    Does anyone circle F for "I like to have fun"?

    This honestly seems like the worst pseudoscience ever. You cannot gauge someone's neurotransmitter levels from a test asking people to self-report symptoms that could literally be resulting from anything. There are so many other reasons someone could have any of these symptoms. I love fun quizzes but because it's pretending to biological it rubs me the wrong way.
