Are traits such as athleticism, creativity, writing and math skills inherited?
All of the traits mentioned are considered to be multifactorial, meaning that it’s likely that there is some genetic contribution, combined with environmental factors, which influence the expression and degree of expression of these traits. Currently, there is no way to predict or estimate a child’s likelihood to express any of these traits based on the apparent expression of these traits in the parent. There is also no genetic testing available for these traits.
