Thank you! I think some of the most practical and surprising insights we can gain from a genetic test relate to our health. As you suggest, for many other personal traits, a test only confirms what we already know. But some aspects of personal identity, such as ancestry and geographical descent, can also be surprising, because most of us don’t have family stories that go back further than a few generations. Many people enjoy the exercise of learning about their origins!
