POPSCBS: "West Virginia Most Neurotic State in Union" A CBS News report (correction: not Couric) stated this at the conclusion of a piece tonight (Sept. 23) based upon this study here which considers that people have a personality within their states, or flock together with those of similar. While the headline of the story underscores New York as neurotic, West Virginia scored highest. Note the study describes a "stress belt": The results revealed clear patterns of personalities - neuroticism is highest in the east along a line stretching from Maine to Louisiana - the "stress belt". There is evidence of this in the crazy way people drive in West Virginia and the high auto insurance rates even though it is a small population center. (Ohio insurance rates are much cheaper for example). West Virginia has been a place of conflict since it was formed, splitting Virginia in two. The "mountain state" has been a tumultuous region, "wild and wonderful", and still untamed. See how other states score.

POPSGamers show Aspbergers traits They are not suggesting that aspbergers syndrome is caused by gameplay, but the similar symptoms may give researchers new insight into the mechanism of autism. No doubt the brain of a game player is having particular specific sections of the brain reinforced by the game play, leaving other areas to atrophy. The biggest difference may be, that the thoughts of an aspberger's syndrome sufferer can be a complete mystery. If you want to know what a gamer is thinking, you just have to watch them play the game.
