Bad genes Japanese inherited

goo Ranking had a pair of surveys with a bit of a strange premise, what unfortunate characteristics one had inherited from one?s parents, for both women and men; then what unfortunate characteristics one doesn?t want to pass on to one?s children, again for both women and men.

Demographics

Over the 29th of February and the 1st of March 2012 1,175 members of the goo Research monitor group completed a private internet-based questionnaire. 61.4% of the sample were female, 10.0% in their teens, 16.5% in their twenties, 29.3% in their thirties, 24.1% in their forties, 10.6% in their fifties, and 9.5% aged sixty or older. Note that the score in the results refers to the relative number of votes for each option, not a percentage of the total sample.

I?d not want to pass on my general shyness to any prodgeny I may have.
