Overall, these results suggest that common additive genetic variants account for a small percentage (~20%) of the total genetic variation in all four personality traits, consistent with mutation-selection balance but not consistent with selective neutrality or balancing selection models for highly polygenic traits. The rest of the genetic variation is likely to comprise of rare variant effects and/or some combination of dominance and epistasis.
