Under what conditions would it matter? If a reconstruction of me isn't accurate enough to tell how extroverted I am, for example, then a "25%" on an accompanying form isn't going to help much. If you don't know what a picture looks like, "the average color is 0x295a5e" isn't enough information to help.

A full genome sequence might be enough information to be slightly useful, but cryonauts have trillions of those already frozen. ;-)
