here is another interesting one ..dont know how to tell if it is spot on for me or not

100%
You have a stronger tendency to have more subcutaneous adipose tissue than visceral adipose tissue
0%
You tend to have similar levels of visceral adipose tissue and subcutaneous adipose tissue

Multiethnic genome-wide meta-analysis of ectopic fat depots identifies loci associated with adipocyte development and differentiation.
Chu AY et al. 2017
To gain new insights into the underlying genetics of body fat distribution, sample-size-weighted fixed-effects genome-wide association meta-analyses were performed in men and women of European, African, Hispanic and Chinese ancestry. In total, seven new loci were identified associated with ectopic-fat traits. UBE2E2 was associated with VAT/SAT (subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue) ratio and two known body fat distribution loci, LYPLAL1 and LY86, were also associated with VAT/SAT ratio at genome-wide significance.

so for those that wonder nature versus nuture (or nature AND nurture) there is this trait. However scientific reliability of this one is one star.

Impact of Traumatic Life Events on Psychotic-like Experiences

The Impact of the FKBP5 Gene Polymorphisms on the Relationship between Traumatic Life Events and Psychotic-Like Experiences in Non-Clinical Adults.
Stramecki F et al. 2021
Researchers investigated the influence of the six polymorphisms in the FKBP5 gene on the association between the level of psychotic-like experiences (PLEs) and lifetime exposure to stress.The studied polymorphisms included rs1360780 and rs9296158. The sample included 535 individuals aged 18 to 30 (23.4 3.0 years) recruited from university students of various faculties. The FKBP5 gene was selected for the study because the gene contains several polymorphic sites that may affect stress response, and thus a risk of psychosis. The Traumatic Events Checklist (TEC) was implemented to assess a history of TLEs such as emotional neglect, emotional abuse, physical abuse and sexual abuse. Physical abuse (PA) and bullying was evaluated with the item: “When you were a child or teenager, did you experience physical abuse (e.g., tormenting, beating, psychically hurting) from your parents, brothers or sisters or peers?”. For screening for psychosis risk and the presence of PLEs, the self-report questionnaire PQ-16 was implemented. It consists of nine items of the perceptual abnormalities/hallucinations subscale, five items referring to unusual thought content/delusional ideas/paranoia, and two negative symptoms. The level of distress associated with experiencing PLEs (the PQ-16 score) was used as the outcome variable. Among the rs1360780 CC homozygotes, a history of PA was associated with significantly higher PQ-16 scores compared with CC homozygotes without a history of PA. This difference was not significant in the rs1360780 T allele carriers. Similar findings were observed for the rs9296158 polymorphism. Indeed, a history of PA was associated with significantly higher PQ-16 scores in the rs9296158 GG homozygotes compared with GG homozygotes without a history of PA, and the trend was not significant in the rs9296158 A allele carriers.
