This VISOVA display shows ‘ethnicity profiles’ across novelty seeking and health indicators for both Hispanic (orange) and non-Hispanic (green) subjects. For clarity the ethnicity of Hispanic subject’s parents were constrained to be Hispanic, and ethnicity of non-Hispanic subjects were constrained to be European (Anglo-Saxon, Western European, or Northern European). Health did not appear to be influenced by ethnicity: there are no apparent difference on the aggregate LA2K Health Score (a tally of health problems), despite differences in BMI. Also, differences in Novelty Seeking (NS) and impulsivity-related indicators contradicted an initial hypothesis of higher NS scores in Hispanic subjects.
