Abstract: Example embodiments may be related to determining whether a trait may be commonly present among members of a genetic community using metadata about individuals such as data derived from survey responses or from other sources. A method may include receiving multiple sets of survey responses from a plurality of individuals. Each set of survey responses may correspond to one of the individuals. Each set may include survey responses to multiple survey questions. The method may define a plurality of traits. One of the traits may be a composite trait that is defined at least partially by a combination of the survey responses to the multiple survey questions. The method may further include retrieving data of the ethnicity composition of the plurality of individuals and determining a correlation between at least one trait and the ethnicity composition of the plurality of individuals. The determination of correlation may include an enrichment test.
