This was especially cool for me because I have an account with 23andme, and this SNP is sequenced with them. If you're also on 23andme you can see what your genotype is: https://www.23andme.com/you/explorer/snp/?snp_name=rs53576

I'm AA, meaning I have the least empathetic phenotype.

Nonsense. These studies are just averages and statistics not facts. People have control over their perceptions.

What's nonsense?

Obviously there's individual variation. Any individual person with AA could have more prosocial behaviors than any individual person with GG.

It's still cool that a difference in behavior is detectable by others even in a relatively small sample.
