Where you should live by personality type. I'm supposed to move to Montana. There's a more in-depth personality test linked at the bottom of the test window that pops up. I took that one and it pretty much puts me right into that, popular with APS but not the population as a whole, INTJ type misfit group.

I've never been to New Mexico, but I don't think the climate would agree with me. Maybe Idaho.
-
California.
I tell ya true, I've been there for relatively longish times (visiting friends, business) and I liked it.
But that was forty years ago, and the place wasn't quite as ditzy as it appears to be now. I brought a little .380 with me in my luggage, don't remember if I declared it or not. Never even took it out of my luggage, and I wasn't really thinking of any adverse gun laws back then -- a gun was a gun was a gun, big deal. (Nowadays any inadvertent infractions of GUH-UHN ! :O laws is in fact a big deal.)
I loved the ocean, the climate, the foliage, and the people.
Nowadays, there are several locales I wouldn't set foot in and California is one of them. I don't wander around much any more, but if I did, you can be sure I'd be checking States' laws from an authoritative source.
The short version did not have any questions about firearms or outdoor sports like hunting, as opposed to skiing and latte-drinking, or about legal environments in general. Don't know if the long version does or not

Neither the short or long form reflect curmudgeonlyness. Even gaming them by picking the only the extremes only moved me at best 1 SD from the midpoint. Why, according to those "tests" I can and enjoy getting along with just about anybody! :mad:
And, no, Terry, the long form does not ask about any of those things.
stay safe.

It says I should be out there with Tallpine and 41magsnub.

I've never been to New Mexico, ...

Ya'll can go to Hell, I'm moving to Georgia!

Fistful would enjoy Oklahoma's wide open spaces. He loves to run, and run, and run!
-
North Dakota, apparently.

The test says I belong in Oregon. My instict says I belong in Maine, Montana, or one of the Dakotas.

You know you liked it here! We even promise not to find you a house on that damned mountain. And somewhere near the interstate. Hell I do believe my place even has a few apartments open...

Gawgya.

I don't grok the reference, but I have much enjoyed my visits to Indian Territory. Apparently, though, I am too "open" and "conscientious" to live there, and not extroverted enough.

Apparently, I belong in Nevada, with hookers and casinos at my beck and call.
I can live with that.

I still can't believe California. Scratching my head over that one.

Maybe your inner-hippie took over while answering?
=D

I absolutely LOVED California up towards Mount Shasta, and the countryside around Weed.
I don't partake, but I did pick up a stainless steel flask from Weed with the requisite decoration on the front of it, for my brother, when I passed through.
People everywhere north of Sacramento seemed like REALLY decent people. I feel bad for 'em, being subject to LA and SF and Sacramento.

That movie gets funnier every time I watch it.

Hmmm. My California result in the survey.

I guess it was the pattern of questions in this "survey's" short form. That's why I wondered if the long form had more relevant questions relating to the totality of what state would suit your "mood". But the "survey" questions were not exhaustive, and just reflected what the designers felt were appropriate questions, based on their own limited outlook(s).
It's like asking what kind of ice cream you like in a survey and concluding from the responses that everybody likes ice cream.
If they had asked only one question about RKBA or spending more money than you take in, California could never have been the result for me.
But RKBA and spending issues were not even part of their mindset in designing the survey.
I know I'm taking this too seriously ("It's only the internet.") but that California result really irked me.

Rural vs. urban?

Thread Necro!
8 and a half-ish years on, and I guess I've softened some. Now the calculator says I should live in Nebraska. I remain skeptical.
-
I've got Georgia on my mind, or in my mind, who the hell knows for sure with this type of thing.
bob
-
According to that, I belong in Tennessee.
OK, I can get with that.
-
Hmm. Originally Montana, now Utah. At least it keeps me in a bordering state (though I was still in CA when I first took it).
-
Based on the answers I put in that "test", it said I should be in NEW JERSEY !?! [barf] :facepalm:
NO "F'ING WAY !!
IL-ANNOY is bad enough !
-
Guess we'll be packing it up and moving to Georgia....
For the live of me I can't remember leaving anything there.
-
Vermont ?

I KNEW you were a damned Commie sympathizer!

I don't know about how they have Texas listed saying we are mildly temperamental and uninhibited. Why don't they come here and say that to our face! :mad:
=D
The article says they used various online methods of recruiting people to participate. Do you think that more or less filtered the type of people they looked at?
-
Georgia? I've often thought about Georgia. Hmm ...
'Twould be better for my dry skin than Oklahoma, I guess. :old:
