We could do a group personality test on LW with 200 questions on personality and then hunt for correlations.

I would suggest using fewer questions to minimize selection effects.

What kind of selection effects do you mean? That not enough people would want to invest the time to answer 200 questions?

And that willingness to invest such time might correlate with certain factors.
