Worth the money

I am so glad that I did 23 and me. All these years I thought I was mostly German and then found out that I am mostly British and Irish. Also it was fun to discover that I had family from Italy and Spain. I never knew that !
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great product and experience. Please expand the historical context to include known migrations and time lines, especially for trace amounts of DNA evidence. Can't wait for more feedback surveys.

Overblown promises and a report full of jjargon

It seems the report comes out of this air. Most of it seems theory. Hope about some follow up to straighten out the missed predictions.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for your feedback. Most human traits are complex, meaning they are not determined by a single factor. Even when we find genetic factors that have a large effect on a trait, they still explain only a portion of it. This means that we can only determine the likelihood of having that trait. There is still the chance of not having that trait.
Many other factors influence traits, including your ancestry, other genes, and other non-genetic factors. That’s why we also include a section in each report that talks about some of these other factors. The results are based only on specific genetic factors that we know about now, but our predictions may get better as we learn more.

The 23and Me Experience

I initially bought this test to confirm and compare to another DNA test. The DNA results were very comparable, but 23 and Me provided so much more than just DNA matches! The traits and wellness reports are excellent and very useful.
I would recommend this to a friend!

No big in details

Fun, but lacks details, is pretty much a map with percentages without information from your traits.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
