Oregon, Neurotic Extroverts in Short Supply

Oregon is officially a laid back agreeable creative openness State, according to an article published in a Time.com Science Page, which quotes a personality study of over a million people conducted by a multinational team of researchers led by psychologist and American expat Jason Rentfrow of the University of Cambridge in the U.K.  I took the snap personality test and they recommended I move to Oklahoma.  It might be interesting to take the test, then ask your closest companion to rate your personality and see how closely your answers are to your companions'. 

States were graded on 5 personality traits, and Oregon scored above the national average on Agreeableness and Openness, so maybe Portlandia isn't so far off the mark.  Sanity was not a factor although Neuroticism was, and we're ranked low on that one.  Take the test.
