So a psychological research journal has a new survey out ranking the states (plus D.C.) in five categories: extroversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism and openness. I’m a bit surprised to see that my home state of Maryland ranked last in terms of extroverts.
This did not surprise me however: D.C. ranks first in openness and second-to-last in agreeableness.
Alaska was the only state to rank lower than D.C. in the agreeableness category. No word yet on how the numbers compare to the years before Sarah Palin became governor.
