Personal profile
Biography
My work addresses cognitive and personality individual differences using behavior and molecular genetic approaches. My work is focussed on the one hand ability and achievement, and on the other morality (traits that ofster cooperaiton) and navishness (Dark traits that interfere with the achievement of others for personal advancement).
I have worked extensivly on the genetics of language and reasoning (the genetics of dyslexia and language impairment, memory, laterality, intelligence), and social behavior genetics: Using genetics to understand individual differences on social traits such as politics and group behavior.
