What seems like EONS ago, I majored in Psychology so I've always been such a junkie for personality tests and psychological studies. Which is why a new study caught my "ear" the other day on a radio station when they talked about a study recently published in the Wall Street Journal and how it showed distinict personality characteristics for each state in our nation. I know I'm a dork, but I loved it!Here's the link: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122211987961064719.html
The short version: how cool is it that the study showed Utah to be high in Extraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness and low in Neuroticism (whew, that's a good thing!). We also ranked relatively high in Openess.
So, there you go. Because I'm sure you've always wondered . . . :)

What an interesting study! Alaska wasn't very prevalent in anything... Thanks for sharing!
Confession...I love that stuff too. I loved my psychology classes in HS and college. Very interesting. I'll check it out. Ever heard of The Personality Tree? It's a really good book I recently read describing different personality types. When you understand that stuff it's so much easier to relate to and love others. It's like, ok, they just have a tendancy to be more _____, I guess I can forgive them! :)
That was very interesting to read. Thanks for sharing it!!
