51. Primary & Secondary Personality Genes: 1. Oxytocin, 2. Language & Speech Patterns

In livin4d blog post #2, I discussed Chromosome 3p25 being the primary personality gene contributing to our Genetic Personality Types [Blue, Orange, Green] among human beings.  
FoxP2 located on Chromosome 7 is the secondary personality gene contributing to our Genetic Personality Types. For simplicity purposes at this point in time, the lab portion available to reveal your GPT is based on our primary personality gene coding for Oxytocin.
Fox P2 which will be added for lab personality testing at a future point in time. Livin4d will utilize the services of DNA genotek located in Ottawa, Canada. 
FoxP2 is responsible for language articulation and speech formation. An individual either has this gene [+] or s/he doesn't [-]. 
Currently, the field of psychology has a portion of diagnostics corresponding to language disorders and thought processing disorders. Within the psychological field, there is much ambiguity surrounding these two types of disorders as the lines of diagnosable demarcation are quite arbitrary.
The Fox P2 gene has already been identified by existing scientific research as the language  gene.  Livin4d is not attempting to "reinvent any wheels."  Livin4d seeks to expand whatbis already proven by blending the world of biology with the world of psychology in order to create an entirely new approach to understanding the human personality and psyche.
The "lens" in which livin4d views personality is through a lens of variation rather than a lens of diagnostic problems. Most forms of current psychology view anything straying from narrow-minded parameters as pathogenic. There is not much room for individual variation of people without a problematic label being slapped on by the mental health community.
Similarly to the Oxytocin gene, with respect to FoxP2, there are already recognizable population variations among continental peoples. These personality variations are the result of genetic shift over the course of time due to the tendency of popluations to reproduce among themselves resulting in more coagulation personality types.
With respect to FoxP2, the Asian population has a tendency to be FoxP2 [-] while the European population has a tendency to be FoxP2 [+].  As this gene corresponds to the ways in which we form and shape our thoughts and language, whether an individual is [+] or [-] creates a large difference with respect to language articulation patterns.
Currently, regardless of spoken language: (German, Chinese, French, English, Polish, Italian, Hebrew, Arabic, Swahilli), we speak to each other as if we all talk and comprehend on the same operating platform. We simply do not  operate on one operating platform and science already supports this concept.
To provide an analogy, it would be like an HTML coder using CMS Flash or vice versa.  The two languages are very different.  It would be like a MAC user using a PC.  The two computers are very different. ONE cannot switch platforms and use the same functional skills as used on the previous platform. It would be maddening to switch apparatuses without gaining new insight and understanding of functions and parameters of the new apparatus. One final example, just because one knows how to bike doesn't mean one knows how to swim. You get the "drift?"
Livin4d provides the manual with specific skills and techniques; much of which are somatic based, in order to bridge the gap among these different personality types. Livin4d's manual decreases friction on all societal levels and forms of interpersonal interaction as it provides a new foundational understanding of human psyche.
The only reason why physical manifestation of livin4d hasn't yet come to fruition is due to the fact that livin4d is waiting for funding in order to assure follow through with DNA Genotek's business financial arrangement.
Ideally, livin4d would like to build a comprehensive interacticr website if additional funding were secured, but at this point in time, that is not necessary as results and personality packets can be mailed via traditional mail.

17. Mirrored Form

Before I begin writing in further detail about livin4d's specific color coordinated GPTs (Blue, Green & Orange) and genetic intrinsic differences, I want to give a caveat that:
The beauty of life is that we are never truly "boxed in" to ANYTHING . . . whether it be personality type, age, gender or race or family. We all have attributes of our phenotypes (physical, mental, emotional, spiritual beings ), that transcend the above mentioned physical boxes.
We can ebb and flow into whatever box we choose to ebb and flow into. This concept of human permeability goes beyond our physical boxes of form and it goes beyond environmental milieu. What I mean by this idea is that we are truly such amazing creatures that if we want to train our bodies and minds to work in unison with the environment and other, we can take on and change our beings into any form  . . to any extent we wish to change our form. (If we confine ourselves to our sensory vision, we limit our ability to transform.  As entities we are so much more than what our eyes reveal).
So, just because you are one genetic "form" of personality type, always remember you are not confined to that form. Furthermore, no one form is better than another form. A gentle reminder to try not to compare self to other from better than-worse from scale.
Each colored GPT has amazing intrinsic values, energies and ways of thought and being in the world that the other 2 forms can benefit from at any given point in time. Each GPT has assets and components that could use help being carried . . .at times . . . by other. It is not anyone else's job to be responsible for us. That said, we can all use the guide of a wing through some currents.
ALL friction in relationships stems from our individual desires to "convert" 'other' to 'self' or a desire to feel "understood" by other. For some reason, our egos get attached to a mirror image of who we are as individuals and we think we need "other" to reflect containment of self.
Somehow we often fall into the view that if "other" thinks, and/or feels the world differently from "me"  it is a threat and dissemination to who "me" is in the world. If others don't mold into self, we argue or scold or withdraw or do something of the sort. Others do the same. This way of relating causes frictional demise.
We so tightly clench to our mirrored reflections of psyche, that we limit our individual and collective expansions. It is important to shatter this need for reflected view and construct livin4d.
Life simply doesn't have to be this form of closed packaging. Molding gets old and boring and ultimately we don't get to share with other . . .this beautiful life experience when we try and shove it into boxed forms.
Continual "molting," flowing and swaying in the breeze as livin4d guides us to do, contributes to love and connect rather than "molding," which causes relational Pompeii.
Livin4d molts current human views by breaking down the  structural walls filled with so much pre-existing judgments and knowings manifesting in current schisms of: personality types,  ages, genders or races and families giving us an opportunity to carve a new current of connect.

16. Vasoppressin: Oxytocin's Complementary Molecule and Further Investigations

Vasoppressin and Oxytocin are both 9 amino acids in length. To provide a little background, an amino acid is made up of any combination of 3 of the 4 genetic DNA letters (A,C,T,G). Vasoppressin and Oxytocin differ from each other by only one amino acid located at the 8th position.
Vasoppressin and Oxytocin carry out some similar functions within our human personalities. So, while livin4d doesn't focus on Vasoppressin at the current time, livin4d wants to state  an interesting point in that there is a good possibility Vasoppressin has a tertiary effect on Genetic Personality Type in addition to Oxytocin located on Chromosome 3p25 and Fox P2 located on Chromosome 7.
The tertiary effect Vasoppressin has on personality has to do with mating behavior and longevity. Supposedly Vasoppressin predominantly affects male's mating behavior according to author Louanne Brizendine.  Although livin4d would apply The "Vasoppressin Concept" to both genders as it views humanity as joined by 3 GPTs transcendent of gender. 
Previous research already conducted on Prarie Voles and montane voles suggest these voles sexual and monogamous behavior are different from each other. Prarie voles engage in long term monogamous relationships whereas montane voles seek promiscuity, sexual variety and one night stands. The differences of these two voles' mating strategies has to do with variation in brain structure as a result of Vasoppressin differences.
Similar to prarie voles, research supports the idea that humans also have two different types of mating strategies: long term monogamous sexual behavior and one night stand promiscuous sexual behavior. Research states these variances are due to different brain structures as a result of varying forms of Vasoppressin.
One can have a long form of Vasoppressin or many repeats of the 9 amino acid chain, or a short form of Vasoppressin or a few repeats of the 9 amino acid combination chain. Depending on which form of Vasopressin an individual has, determines the type of sexual behavior one will have a tendency in which s/he engages.
In her book, The Male Brain, Author Louanne Brizendine references research conducted that "males" with the longer form of the Vasoppressin gene or more repeats of the 9 amino acid chain have a tendency to be more monogamous and have happy lasting relationships in comparison to men who having the shorter version of the Vasoppressin gene.
Livin4d is not aquiesing this Vasoppressin concept as fact or theory (not that science accepts anything as fact), but livin4d wants to reference the Vasoppressin Concept as "food for thought" for future and further scientific  investigations in application to both genders.
A more detailed further scientific investigation would be to examine: "In which GPT (Blue, Green, Orange) do longer repeats of the Vasoppressin amino acid exist? If livin4d focused on Vasoppressin, it would hypothesize that longer repeats of the 9 amino acid combination Vasoppressim would exist in the Blue Genetic Personality Type and the shortest repeat a of the 9 amino acid chain would exist in the Orange GPT with a middle length occurring in Green GPT.

14. "[Humans'] 'New Clothes' ?" I Wonder? Can We Join in the Sewing?

In life, it has been my experience thus far that people love to pathologize and hierarchically  differentiate among groups as to which group is "better than" the other group.
And when people are not speaking to "the group" as a whole, they speak to subsidiary aspects of that group in reference to which part is better than another part. By default, it seems to be human nature to do this type of incessant comparison.
This comparison with built in scaled value seems to be a human for of self-preservation; as if we are all truly equal, there will be some loss of sense of self. It seems from my life experience, whether one is black, white, lesbian, straight, old, young, male, female, undoubtedly there are implicit rationalized judgments contributing to understanding of self to other.
These hierarchical energy "caste" systems keep the wheels of human friction turning resulting in a simultaneous right and left momentum and/or up/ and down momentum depending on the angle from which the motion is viewed.
Regardless of direction and content, the simultaneous opposite running flows contribute to human relational friction that occur within all social levels (organizational,  educational, social, family, couple).
As livin4d  has a new 3 way categorization system for humanity with (+/-) language overlay factor, it allows us humans to start over, tabula rasa (blank slate) with our was of relating to each other and understanding one another. Livin4d finally reveals to us a groundbreaking foundation to erect our psychological buildings of humanity without the "______"  referenced by all religions.
Livin4d is rooted in existing valid and reliable scientific data. It is the logical structure strong enough to embrace the creative.
Metaphorically speaking livin4d is like trees, not only in its root structure, but in that it can blow with the wind without snapping. While each tree is the same species of tree, each tree is a different width, height and distance from "other" such that each tree can blow with the wind without snapping and each tree can feel each other, perhaps sometimes with minor abrasions but never enough to create friction.
Unlike buildings which are either preserved or deconstructed in order to rebuild, livin4d innately has the tensile stength to adjust it's parameters for intrinsic changing of variables.
Livin4d is too vast a concept for anyone to take ownership of as it is a reflection with a twist of our humanity as a whole. We do not exist in isolation, nor does livin4d. Livin4d is too vast for any one person to build as it is a gift to our humanity from our humanity at another axis in time. While I would love more than anything for us humans to be able to integrate this gift of livin4d into the fibers of our lives' weave, it is up to us if we choose to sew this beautiful fabric of humanity.
I will continue to do my best to be the best reflection of "us" that I can be . . . in all facets of "us" :) in personal hope that we can all mend our psychological cloak. If we cannot, I understand this too as we can only do the best we can do at any given point in time. Afterall,  we are human and along with "us" comes many imperfections whether "silent," "shifted" or "overt."

12. Gender Roles Part 2: Livin4d Deconstructs Gender Role Fallacies

Gender Roles part 2
Just as Oxytocin levels are independent of gender, it can be speculated that Testosterone, Progesterone and Estrogen may also be independent of gender.
These 3 hormones may be directly associated with DNA and genes on allosomes or independent of the sex chromosomes making them independent of gender as well. This concept creates an interesting twist in that we typically attribute Testosterone levels to men and progesterone and estrogen levels to women.
It may be that Testosterone, estrogen and progesterone levels are directly associated with gender but further research needs to be conducted.
Livin4d poses the question, "Are these 3 hormones a direct association of gender or are they too, like Oxytocin a result of DNA not associated directly with gender?
It is suggested that further studies examine if portions of the 22 allosomes  (non sex chromosomes x,x; x,y) carry activated/expressed genes coding for Testosterone, Estrogen and/or Progesterone.
It is also suggested that further studies examine portions of the X chromosome which both "male" and "female" have in order to understand if the X chromosome performs Testosterone function.
Livin4d speculates that the majority of our "sex differences" determined by supposed XX and Xy gender genes are not at all due to these genes rather due to variations, activations, inactivations  and synergistic blends of activation on all our chromosomes.

10. Genetic Personality Types (+/-) Blue, Green, Orange


Fox P2 [+]/[-] is the post-qualifier added to the 3 primary genetic personality types GPTs: Blue, Green and Orange. So, an individual can be:
Blue (+) or Blue (-)
Green (+) or Green (-)
Orange (+), Orange (-)
Fox P2 is the language gene located on Chromosome 7. Fox P2 determines one's language style. One either has the gene or one does not have the gene. Just because an individual does not have the gene does not mean that one is mute or deaf. Just because an individual has the gene doesn't mean one can talk or hear. The (+/-) form of the gene simply determines one's language style. The two are different (+) doesn't mean better or more and (-) doesn't mean worse or less.
To use an analogy to livin4d's Personality Coding system, let's look at human blood types. Every human being has one of four primary blood types: (O, A, B and AB). These blood types are determined by the type of protein existing within the hemoglobin as designated by the letters above.
Each of these blood types can be (+/-) due to the RH factor being present or not present within the 4 primary blood types. Similarly, each Genetic Personality Type (GPT) can be (+/-) due to the Fox P2 factor/gene being present or not present within the 3 primary Genetic Personality Types.
People who are negative blood types, Rh(-) react adversely if given positive blood type transfusions Rh(+) as the (-) blood types do not have the Rh gene to properly synthesize the (+) factor. A pregnant woman who is Rh (-) must be given a Rhogam shot if her fetus has a (+) blood type. Without the shot, the pregnant mother's body will "fight" the fetus, especially if it is the 2nd pregnancy or beyond, most likely resulting in loss of the relationship. The two blood types can coexist with facilitation.
Similarly, the Blue, Green and Orange (+/-) personality factors can harmoniously coexist with livin4d's facilitation. livin4d is like the Rhogam shot allowing for viable pregnancy. Livin4d is the viable glue for growing together and keeping connected relationships.

9. Livin4d CN Tower of Shared Global Communications

The DSM-5 is flawed in many ways if not entirely.  There are many disorders that are heavily weighted on one side of the spectrum without there even being another side to the spectrum.
For example, one might be diagnosed as a "horder," but where is the disorder of a "minimalist?" One might be a "narcissist" but where is the disorder of a "gregarioussist?" There are many other "missing links" in the D$M5- Can you think of any? Use your imagination!!
Aside from this intrinsic flaw, there is simply no room for human affect range without it being pathologized. If one is too happy, one has mania. If one is too sad, one has depression.  If one has too much of both, that one is bipolar. LOL (culturally acceptable new humor scientific slang).
What a perpetual range of E-motion the DSM-5 creates? LOL - sounds "bipolar" to me!! Livin4d's Tri-Personality System creates a harmonious personality wheel with "sticky ends" made for attachment rather than repulsion! DSM-6 = livin4d.
The Oxytocin wheel is life's connection to cohesive personalities all around the world. livin4d is the Global Bank of Communication sharing life's circuit.
Livin4d journeys beyond "lip service" of all languages to connect in deeper, more meaningful ways. At the Global Communications Bank of livin4d, you will have access to many somatic and experiential techniques connecting Blue, Green and Orange Personality Types. Livin4d transcends cerebral friction by joining pathways on ONE SHARED COMMUNICATION line beyond talking. livin4d makes no empty promises. It moves you into action.
Livin4d is the CN tower of Global Communications.

8. Depathologizing Current Research Surrounding Oxytocin Variants

Livin4d's innovative personality categorization system seeks to depathologize much of current psychological diagnostic manuals. The world of mental health, schools, insurance "et al." examine life's "everything" through veiled ailments. livin4d sets life's "everything" free to fly with unlimited potential.
Following are examples of our current views in the world:
-Babies are measured against strict developmental scales and if not meeting narrow parameters, failing to thrive.
-Children's artwork is viewed through lenses of molestation and abuse. 
-Teenagers' individuality and artistic manifestations are seen as problematic.
-Adults who do not work from 9-5 are "issues to society."
- Elderly become "alzheimerish" and have dimentia as soon as they stop working 9-5.
-"It's time" to start expanding our views of normalcy and consequently increasing our operational realms in this world.
-"It's time" to start accepting human diversity as "normal" in all facets of life.
-"It's time" to stop living in such structured boxes for it is these square minded parameters that stunt growth in all areas of life.
Livin4d's new way of categorizing people allows for more acceptance of uniqueness sans the problematic interference blocking success. To restate, it is the current human's need to pathologize every personality, every behavior, every expression and practically every human interchange that blocks the expansion of human psyche, interpersonal closeness and fruition of ideas.
By viewing people with 3 distinct personalities as opposed to "one prototype," we allow for a much greater range of "normalcy," consequently eliminating human 'drag' that keeps potential brilliance from thriving. (Drag often results in resistance consequently adding to more hinderence of human growth potential).
As livin4d primarily focuses on chromosome 3p25.3, the rs53576 single nucleotide polymorphism for Oxytocin of which there are 3 variants, livin4d will begin depathologizing already existing current research articles' writing methodology.
Much of current research surrounding Oxytocin has a built in "better than" spectrum assumption. Current research states that GG alleles have "higher empathy" and "better social skills" while AA alleles have "less empathy" and "less social skills."
This outlook creates a heirarchical concept that is simply erroneous. Livin4d believes that both groups AA and GG as well as the heterozygous (A,G) Green group have intrinsic assets. There are no negative qualities of any group. There are only different ways of understanding each group.
Learning how to collaborate with and enance each color GPT will only better our species as a whole. Forward momentum will not happen by stating that one group has more empathy than another group as there is an intrinsic negative implication to the "non-empathic" group.
Furthermore, AA does not have "less empathy," rather they somatically feel more and utilize less "empathic" words to converse. It could actually be argued that they have more "empathy" of the non-verbal variety.
That said, it is important to bridge the current gap between GG and AA so that people can form better relationahips. Learning each other's genetically based personalities resulting in different ways of being in the world via livin4d will bridge this gap.
Current research surrounding Oxytocin involves such tests as "Beck Depression Inventory," "Reading of Mind Test," "Tridimensional Personality Questionnaire," "Other Oriented Empathy Scale," and more. Livin4d views all these scientific tests surrounding the population Oxytocin comparison as flawed in that they intrinsically have the "traditional empathy" concept built in.
Again, to reiterate, by comparing the 3 personality types via scientific tests that revolve around "talk empathy" determined as "better than" by the empathic talkers . . . Will not promote cohesion of our societies. It could be argued that if "empathic" individuals (GG) only talked less, they could be more open to somatic empathy as expressed in (AA) individuals.
livin4d will not include any pre-existing methodologies and/or scientifically "valid" research ANOVAs, tests, variance references, longitudinal studies etc in any form as reference as livin4d believes the verbage even used to create these tests are flawed.

livin4d is ONLY based on empirical raw scientific data: DNA - the primary building blocks to life with NO awry kinks resulting in falsely constructed buildings.
