Sep. 21st, 2008 06:01 pmA few weeks ago a study about personality differences among US states came out. Which is really interesting in and of itself -- supporting some stereotypes ;) -- I think the neuroticism map is most interesting, you can really see a trend...
Anyways this clearly begs for meme-ification. A friend of mine wrote a script that lets you take your stats from the big 5 personality metric and see which state's attitude you're closest to. I wind up in New England but not MA -- what about you?
