Although an association between the dopamine receptor D4 (DRD4) gene and personality traits had been previously investigated, results from previous studies were not conclusive. This may be due to the method of grouping used, which categorized the gene population into two groups based on the length of the variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR) in exon 3. In the present study, we categorized 616 healthy Japanese...
