00:00Scientists just found the biggest genetic link to personality ever discovered,
00:04and it connects to far more than just who you are.
00:06An international team identified more than 1,200 genetic variants
00:11linked to the big five personality traits.
00:14Extroversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism, and openness.
00:19The surprising part is that many of these same variants are also tied to health,
00:23longevity, careers, income, and even everyday habits like sleep timing.
00:28The study, published in Nature, combined genetic and personality data
00:32from more than 1.14 million people.
00:35Across 46 research studies in 13 countries,
00:39researchers found variants linked to conscientiousness
00:41were associated with being more active during the day.
00:44While variants linked to openness and extroversion were tied to being more of a night owl,
00:50scientists say environment still plays a powerful role.
00:53But the genetic connection runs deeper than expected.
