According to an article in the Wall Street Journal, researchers have identified certain personality traits by state. The article and interactive map can be seen by clicking on the link above.
As far as Michigan is concerned, and you all know I am a greater supporter of my favorite state, we did not do too badly according to the scale.
The five categories on the map were ranked by highest prevalence in each state. The scale was 1-51 including the District of Columbia. For Michigan the rankings were:
Extroversion - 17
Agreeableness - 11
Conscientiousness - 21
Neuroticism - 26
Openness - 36
Apparently we Michiganders are very open, but we are in the middle of the pack as possible neurotics.
Read this interesting article and decide whether you agree with the researchers regarding your favorite state.
