Gettin' us where we live

So, didja see this in the Wall Street Journal?

Did you think of me immediately?

I know I did.

Long story short, researchers look at different attributes of different folks in different parts of the country. Cool interactive graphics are here.

Here's how New Hampshire is described:

• Extraversion: 50th out of 51 states-plus-D.C. Or, as I like to think of it, second in aloofness.
  
• Agreeableness: 30th.
  
• Conscientiousness: 44th.
  
• Neuroticism: 14th.
  
• Openness: 14th.
  

And D.C.:

• Extraversion: 3rd out of 51 states-plus-D.C. Or, as I like to think of it, third most likely to give you a business card.
  
• Agreeableness 50th. Or, as I like to think of it, second most likely to pick a fight with you about politics or shove you on the Metro.
  
• Conscientiousness 40th.
  
• Neuroticism 31st.
  
• Openness 1st. I should have something funny to say about this, but I don't. Do you?

I also entirely love that North Dakota is first in both extraversion and agreeableness, but dead last in openness. Now that sounds like my kind of place.
