The disorder. Yeah.

Yeah.

It's interesting because it becomes a really difficult thing to test because how do you measure creativity in a way that you could then link to genetic information?

So a lot of these kinds of understandings of genes come from things called genome-wide association studies, where essentially they perform a correlation at every site in the genome to see which of these sites correlate statistically with whatever phenotype it is. So whether that's, you know, kidney disease or, you know, creativity. But you have to have a really good way of quantifying that trait.

So, you know, creativity is nearly impossible to quantify. Something like mathematical ability, there's so many potential environmental nurture factors that could contribute to how that manifests in an individual that it also becomes quite difficult to quantify and therefore difficult to find any genetic factor that's contributing.

I mean, you know, there's like companies where you can test yourself to find out what kind of athlete you should be. And I think that kind of gets into something called genetic determinism, which is this idea that your genes determine everything about you. which we know isn't true. We know that it's a combination of genetic factors, environmental factors, all of these different things.
