Keep the result in context
A trait is not a verdict.
Talent develops through practice, opportunity, motivation, relationships and culture. Genetic associations can add context, but they cannot measure potential or predict success.

The Inborn Talent Genetic Test (ITGT) is a scientific DNA test to decode inherited and inborn talents of a child through the genetic makeup of the DNA that your child is born with. The test results help parents identify their children’s talents that may not be obvious at a young age but can be picked up from their genetic makeup.
You will be provided with a conclusive DNA test report within a month after the samples have been tested in our lab. Our DNA sample collection procedure does not involve collecting blood, ensuring a painless and non-invasive experience for your children. The whole process is completed effortlessly in a few minutes.
Step 1: Place an Order Online
Pick between the options Inborn Talent or Disease Susceptibility for the DNA test. It would typically take 5-7 days for your sample swab home kit to arrive at your doorstep.
Step 2: Swab Sampling
The kit will be provided with instructions for you to collect a sample from the comforts of your home. Deposit the tube and form into the pre-paid envelope and mail it back to our sample collection point.
Step 3: Profiling Report
You will be provided with a conclusive DNA test report within a month after the samples have been tested in our lab.
Knowing your child’s inborn talents allows you to groom your child according to their natural inclinations effectively. You can channel efforts and resources towards developing your child’s potential with more confidence. You no longer have to rely on guesswork, trial-and-error or fortune-telling. At the same time, you will also know what areas your child is not likely to excel in as your child is not naturally inclined toward those areas.
In theory, yes. Research suggests that the way our DNA is expressed – through the proteins that it codes for – can tell us a lot about our personalities. In the biological sense, genes are what we inherit rather than traits like behaviour or personality. With a personality DNA test such as the Inborn Talent Genetic Test, you can learn more about your genes and determine which attributes you are predisposed to.
Human behaviour is influenced by genetic variations. The environment in which a person is raised can cause genetically predisposed behaviours; genetically identical individuals reared in various circumstances may display distinct personalities and behaviours. Taking a personality DNA test in Singapore can help you better understand yourself by determining the characteristics to which you are predisposed.
Children are born with a certain temperament or personality, which is thought to be about 20-60% inherited and can be described as their level of sociability, emotional stability or impulsivity, activity level, focus or distraction, and persistence. Map My Gene’s Inborn Talent Gene Test, a form of genetic personality test in Singapore, can identify these temperaments and assist parents in making informed decisions on how to raise their children best.
The “big five” personality traits are extraversion, neuroticism, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and openness to experience. Each of these traits exists in varying degrees in each individual’s personality. Map My Gene’s Inborn Talent Gene Test covers personality testing through genetic testing as well as the Big 5 theory, which offers information regarding leadership potential, strengths, and potential roadblocks.
Genes don’t play a single role in shaping personality; instead, they help make up certain aspects of it, such as intelligence. For example, a gene called SLIT2 is associated with how quickly you process information and adapt to new information, while a gene variation called DRD4 is associated with how quickly you learn from mistakes. DNA personality tests can help individuals understand their strengths, limitations, and natural abilities. This information can help them choose a career path that suits their personality or nurture their innate skills.
The results of the tests offered are known to be scientifically proven to assert up to 99% accuracy. Clients can rest assured that we only offer tests that have met stringent validity, consistency, and accuracy standards.
Anyone! A DNA test can be performed at any age.
The ITGT provides valuable insights for individuals at any stage of career, emotional or personality growth. We recommend taking the ITGT as early in life as possible. Parents can give their children a head start in life to set a foundation to develop their children’s natural dispositions early.
Adults who find themselves at a career crossroad find it particularly useful to have an ITGT test done, as the career profiling aspect of the ITGT can help guide individuals towards careers they are most suited for according to their innate ability that they might not even be aware of.
Not likely. Genetic conditions are known to be very stable. Your DNA is unlikely to change over your lifetime. There is no need to test again for the exact attributes.
Your test results will be kept very strictly confidential. A model will only identify your sample’s serial number throughout most of the testing process to ensure the confidentiality of your identity.
Your test results will not be wilfully shared with any third party outside Map My Gene. Even within Map My Gene, client details will only be revealed on a need-to-know basis, and access to client details will be limited to only a select few employees who require the information to perform their work.
