Everybody has a talent and the easiest way to discover it is to undergo a genetic test, according to a company in Foshan .
The R&D Centre of Multiple Intelligence at the Oriental Plaza shopping centre in Foshan claims there are two main methods for genetically testing people's aptitude.
One method is using a specialised laser to scan fingerprints, and the other is using swabs to collect oral mucosa, a process that takes five to 10 minutes.
'A fingerprint test costs 500 yuan [HK$568] and an oral mucosa test costs 3,800 yuan,' says Hu Xiequn, a consultant and cerebral training specialist at the centre.
The fingerprint test can be done locally while oral mucosa analysis has to be done in laboratories in Taiwan and Shanghai, hence the latter is much more expensive. The tests are said to be of equal accuracy.
The tests are said to compare and analyse a person's dominant and recessive genes to determine their 'advantaged field' and the most suitable learning method.
