Do you perform at your best under pressure? Or do you prefer to environments where you have time think? A little of both? This gene may influence how you respond to stimulation.
Had a pretty hard time distinguishing if you were saying worrier vs warrior while I was listening at work. I'll have to watch it again with subtitles. Best presentation of the subject I've seen on RU-vid yet.
i have the warrior variant of the gene and on my days off i never get anything i wanted to accomplish done just procrastinate endlessly but at work as a line cook when there is food orders streaming down the the floor from the printer i run circles around everyone like a tasmanian devil from loony toons
a interest contrast is there is one co-worker who def has the worrier variant and the pros is he never forgets anything that needs to be done throughout the day while ill miss things like making gravy as an example, nothing like that gets passed him. but when it gets busy he does shutdown and goes into a quiet support role like taking care of putting bread for a clubhouse into the toaster and filling up sauce cups for the next order coming up, its actually nice combo we got going on line when together
@@thecrazyturtle This was my first thought as well; are the warriors procrastinators? I haven't tested yet, but I know for a fact that back in university I needed to delay tasks to build up pressure for me to get locked in before a deadline and perform well. It was like starting early writing didn't stimulate me enough.
I'm a homozygous worrier and I feel like I have more "patience" with monotonous and mundane activities. I can even feel a slight pleasure in doing repetitive activities, how crazy is that! Even though I'm homozygous, I feel like I can react well to mild or moderate stress situations. However, at the same time I have had Post Traumatic Stress at work, I have anxiety and depression. I take the antidepressant venlafaxine and it has helped me a lot with my anxiety, my psychiatrist said that it regulates Dopamine.
Excellent presentation! Loved it. Based on the knowledge and expriences i have about myself, i am heterozygous. I love to move around and live in expanded steppes and mountains and do martial art and horseriding and sharpshooting, and at the same time i enjoy sitting and spending countless hours on math and physics as im studying physics and philosophy at uni. + i love scottish teachers they are the best teachers i ever had in my life, learned faster with them. Keep up the great work!
Incredibly informative video. I am a homozygous warrior, and it makes complete sense as I am simply unable to concentrate on mundane tasks such as assignments
i’m a clear worrier. most of the personality traits check out, except depression. i’m good at repetitive tasks (and logical puzzles), but bad at adapting to new rules. i wonder if understanding rules of card games easily is related to this divide, because i’m oddly slow at it despite having a decent iq…
Fighter & Entrepreneur here. I only feel good whenever I do something hard, stressful or entertaining. I also tend to have ADHD symptoms. Didn't know genetics played such a big role. Awesome video.
I don’t relate to either of these. I was diagnosed with adhd pretty late in life, always had low executive function and was disorganized, got in trouble in school for being too talkative, typical adhd treats. However, I always excelled in more boring tasks. I did well in school and went to an Ivy League school, and have sucked at warrior tasks, like sports and anything physical
There is a large literature about the moderating effect of gender on the associations between COMT polymorphisms and behaviour. To include it would have made the video too long. Oestrogen also regulates prefrontal cortical dopamine so there is certainly an interaction between sex and COMT status.
