Scientific study concludes we should all grow up in California

based on key personality traits including agreeableness, conscientiousness and emotional stability.

Since when agreeableness is characteristic of best personality? Everything we call civilization today was built by people who didn't agree with state of affairs in their immediate natural and/or social environment.

Agreeableness as opposed to agressiveness

[wvwvw]

Agreeableness is a personality trait manifesting itself in individual behavioral characteristics that are perceived as kind, sympathetic, cooperative, warm, and considerate.[1] In contemporary personality psychology, agreeableness is one of the five major dimensions of personality structure, reflecting individual differences in cooperation and social harmony.[2]

People who score high on this dimension are empathetic and altruistic, while a low agreeableness score relates to selfish behavior and a lack of empathy. Those who score very low on agreeableness show signs of dark triad behavior such as manipulation and competing with others rather than cooperating.

Agreeableness is considered to be a superordinate trait, meaning that it is a grouping of personality sub-traits that cluster together statistically. The lower-level traits, or facets, grouped under agreeableness are: trust, straightforwardness, altruism, compliance, modesty, and tender-mindedness.[3]

Cool story. Makes good example of why neuroscientists consider psychology to be pseudoscience.

Don't you agree there's a certain truth to the stereotype of Southerners being warmer, more amicable folks than Northerners?

Temper differences between people of different climates are obvious to anyone with half a brain. I have no problem with that. My problem is allegedly scientific report operates terms like 'best'. From what I know about scientific methods it should be as neutral as humanly possible. Usage of emotionally charged subjective definitions is a good sign it's another useless waste of academic resources.

As somebody who did grow up in California, this is just bunk put out by your typical heat/sun-loving douchebag to justify why their preferences are superior.

I mean think about it....name another place that's hot and sunny all the time: Oh right....the MIDDLE EAST!

Happy to be GONE from California lol

Our climate is similar to Med countries.

Med countries have the best personalities. We are the coolest kids on the block.

I agree 100%. California is hip and cool.

Americans dream of living in California.




The last place somebody wants to live in, is in Mississippi.
