Oh, yeah, I definitely associate Utah and Montana with people who are uninhibited and experimental, and "polite" and "kind" are the first words that come to mind for Mississippi and Alabama.

Or maybe that's just my rude, sarcastic New England self coming through.

It’s true through, New England has a stick up it’s ass, is very bland and Puritan, and is closed off. In the liberal west, at least, they’re way more open and experimental, and uninhibited. New England people are very inhibited and self conscious people. It’s kind of funny but more just sad.

Funny how you took it personally, it doesn’t seem like your skin is thick enough to realize how vanilla you are. Now now. It’s ok just keep your head down on the sidewalk like a good little robot, you’ll get MA ego points for it, and make sure to do de dunkkkieeeeeeesss 🥴

These must just be first impressions. I think you got the south aaaaaaaaaalll wrong. I started out there and moved north for love. New Englanders present as cool but once you are in, you are in forever.

Yeah the West is... oh, uninhibited. I thought it said uninhabited.

Same thing. They always complain about the East Coast bias but if you compare a satellite at night map. The West Coast looks like North Korea. From the Mighty Mis to the Pacific is really a baron wasteland with no one in it.

New England wants nothing to do with PA, NJ and NY.

This map?

Obviously created by an asshole on the west coast who has never been past the Mts.

A good part of the US is angry at the Northeast for its wealth, intelligence, superior schools, being strongly Blue, for the most part, etc. I would not want to live anywhere but New England and view most of the rest of the country as hateful, fascist trash. I would have no problem with New England - with the exception of New Hampshire - leaving the US for Canada, a country we are much more akin with.

I’d love for New England plus New York and PA to break off and form it’s own country.

We need a buffer of course. Pennsylvania can come if they agree to keep out all the Ohio weirdos

There is no data or even quality of any data so why make it look like there are quantitative figures behind this map. It is clearly just someone's opinion of a perception of a broad region. And if you have no data, at least make it funny.

And what does the category "smart" mean? So what this is saying is that there are no smarts across the U.S. but the Northeast has just a little?

It literally says "mean" directly next to "kind" for the South. I think whoever put the map together needs to take another look at their inputs.

I'm fine with it. The whole map is inaccurate tho.

I live in Greenfield but grew up in the Berkshires. From my pov this is accurate compared to my time in Sturbridge and Brookfield.

This seems like someone from the south made it. It's not rude to tell it like it is to your face.

None of those qualities apply to those red states, so bullshit.

I live in the south. This chart is complete bullshit. They hide their rude, suspicious, and mean personalities under a thin veneer of politeness.

[deleted] OP t1_jbovxyq wrote

So the difference is that the New Englanders don’t hide it while Southerners do?

I’m cool with all of it because we’re the only ones labeled as smart. That’s all.

In this new nationwide survey, respondents were shown a list of 20 adjectives and asked which four they most associate with each main region of the United States – the West, the South, the Midwest and the Northeast – and the results were analysed to determine which words were particularly associated with a region.

What’s it look like if you only take the data self reported for home region?
