Perhaps lesbians and bisexuals are less affiliated? (Like I would know.) I would hypothesize this will work on groups that have sub-culture: Pagans, insular Christian denominations, hippies, goths, members of activist movements, and people with certain disabilities that either have there own culture (e.g., Deaf) or affiliate a great deal through support groups, all might be example of groups it might work on. Also, high schools and universities someone has attended, and home towns to a lesser extent by extension. Probably not major political parties, mainstream musical generas, etc., and probably would not be able to tell who is professes to be Christian. Again, I suspect this will hit strong for and based on (sub-)cultural / crowd membership and geography -- and probably not all traits.
