America's Mood Map
« on: October 25, 2013, 12:16:16 AM »
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

Terry, 230RN

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.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

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.
