New Mexico, of all places. I once had lunch in the extreme Northwest corner of New Mexico, on my way from Colorado to Arizona. At least it didn’t say Ohio. ---

No, no, that must be wrong. That’d be the wrong ocean… ---

New Mexico. I’ve never been there, but I could see it. I’ve lost count of how many New Mexico people there’ve been so far, but I must be sixth or seventh. Then I changed one answer slightly (making myself a little less dependable) and got Vermont–another one that seems to be quite popular within this bunch. ---

I’m from Aus and I got the District of Columbia, which I had to google to find out it’s part of Washington DC. 😕 Why is being extraverted seemingly highly rated? Personally i think they should have a hunting season for them, when it’s legal to shoot the noisy, needy sods. ---

Personally i think they should have a hunting season for them, when it’s legal to shoot the noisy, needy sods. Sort of “part of.” Three guesses what “DC” stands for. It’s an annoying Maniac Mansion-style pixel hunt to find it on the map :(. It’s the most open, second most extraverted, least or second least agreeable (imagine that!), and lowish on conscientiousness and neuroticism. What do you mean highly rated? That it’s on the “Strongly Agree” side, e.g the positive side? Blame Hans Eysenck for his PEN scale (Firefox sees his name is correctly spelled. Did I add it, or is it in their dictionary!?) ---

Personally i think they should have a hunting season for them, when it’s legal to shoot the noisy, needy sods. Washington is the District of Columbia, there used to be other communities that were part of the District of Columbia, but now it’s just Washington. I’m a Washingtonia and don’t blame us for America’s politicla dysfunction, we don’t even have representation in congress. ---
