I got 1 with no trauma, but the questions vary significantly in "weight" and the one I went 'yes' on was alcoholism (and with no abuse or anything else, so it's definitely better than the questions like SA from a family member etc.)

My question was trying to expand on what the linked article already says.

It looked like you were associating ACE with a gifted indication. My mistake.

i.e. How do we know that anyone, associating any ‘ACE score’, with those far away from the average, is valid? as opposed to random conjecture?

I have no opinions on whether any ‘association’ exists at all or not, but clearly at least a few dozen do, hence me asking the question.
