There is an interesting WSJ article profiling certain personality traits across states. Pretty interesting, and makes me wonder whether students who live in many different states are affected by their environments. And, how much of what that region’s environment sticks with them. Personally, I have definitely been affected by the cynicism and neuroticism of New England and New York, though I am still undoubtedly a Californian. My personality sporadically jumps from one to another: sometimes I am enraged by the amount of people on the streets and on public transportation, but at other times am completely unbothered and people watch. I micromanage, but I also just go with whatever comes my way. Whether or not this attests to different regional temperaments, I do not know. But the article is still worth a glance.
