According to a recent study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, Massachusetts’ personality profile ranks third in the country for neuroses, behind West Virginia and Maine.

A study spearheaded by University of Cambridge psychologist and American expat Jason Rentfrow sought to describe regional differences by giving each state a virtual personality test, TIME reports. States were given scores in five different categories: Openness, Conscientiousness, Extroversion, Agreeableness and Neuroticism.

The results of 1.6 million survey responses over the course of 13 years yielded three prominent personality profiles, with much of the Northeast falling into the “Temperamental and Uninhibited” category. Massachusetts is one of the states that fits this profile the most, according to the study, and marks high in the “Neuroticism” category with a score of 63.8.

What, might you ask, constitutes neuroses? Apparently anxiety and anger.

Yikes. Maybe that explains some of the verbal exchanges between pedestrians and cab drivers, or that less-than-friendly T driver you encountered on your morning commute.

The good news is that the Bay State comes in 7th for openness, with a score of 59.6. This apparently means that a good percentage of us exhibit “curiousness and a preference for novelty.”

So while we may be angry and anxious, we’re also pretty accepting.

Rentfrow argues that instead of dividing the country, like personalities bring together people with similar life values and interests, according to TIME. Political differences may exaggerate the state ‘personality types,’ encouraging regionalism, but all in all, we are connected in that we share these five measurable traits to begin with.
