The study used BIG 5 to determine regional differences. Now, is it possible to type the states MBTI-wise with this data?

50+ Extroversion = Extroversion
50+ Openness = Intuition
50+ Agreeableness = Feeling
50+ Conscientiousness = Judging

For example:
New York
47 Extroversion
64,5 Openness
29,8 Agreeableness
37,7 Conscientiousness

means iNTP

or

Minnesota

52,9 Extroversion
38,5 Openness
61,6 Agreeableness
52,5 Conscientiousness

means eSFj

Full list - types of the states on page two.

Ha, I was going to start a thread about this earlier today but I forgot about it.

Apparently my personality is reflective of the people of Vermont.

Ehh. I think a better description of 'New York' is 3w4, contra-flow. Probably ENTJ.

Where does neuroticism come into this? Or is it too vague and general for comparison with MBTI?

Whenever I did the BBC test after they demonstrated the big 5 on Child of Our Time, I always come out with high Neuroticism and low everything else.

Which apparently means I would be suited to the north-east United States.

I guess it is split up in MBTI, a little bit here and there.

Am I correct in perceiving that the article doesn't actually contain a link to the study?

Yeeeahhhh, Minnesota really is ESFJ. Explains so much.

Then I guess I'm in the wrong state. It really depends on which part of the state though. There are big differences between the Minneapolis/St. Paul area and the more rural parts of the state.

Scored New Mexico on the quiz by the way.

Maine seems way more INTP than NYC. I knew I liked Maine.

Taxachusetts is also INTP.

Maybe I need to move to New England.

The Pacific Northwest is more agreeable and less neurotic than New England, but more introverted. So, Oregon and Washington are actually NFP. Like Kurt Cobain! I'll visit, but it might be too much like college.
