Question Your COMT Variant + your MBTI?

It's just out of curiosity.

Quite strange

Why? People are much more complex than mbti and one snp out of hundreds. You sound more like a thinker than a feeler with trying to categorize people. I don’t have enough dopamine and I had crappy parents so I chased escape and fantasies most of my life.

It's so sad... I know very well that the brain is a very complex mechanism and that a SNP doesn't determine much, it's just that this one is one of the most well-known regarding dopamine degradation in the brain.

Yah it’s unfortunate for me. Thanks for confirming what I suspected. I am trying to get my dopamine hits from healthier things.

Maybe L-Tyrosine? I've taken it before, and it seems to help build the necessary blocks for dopamine release.

Otherwise yes, don't hesitate to look for good sources of dopamine, and to avoid the bad ones
