Geography and Personality

The folks subbing for Andrew Sullivan have a series of maps showing the distribution of the "Five Big Personality Types." Take a look at them. The area for the "Conscientious" types seems to run right through this area. In fact, I think the neighbors across the street fall into the Conscientious zone while my side of the street - not so much.

The really interesting thing though is to look at the area of New York city. Folks there are the least Agreeable, the least Conscientious, the least Extroverted, but the most Open to New Experiences, and the most Neurotic.

Go ahead. Tell me you are surprised.
