HAMPSHIRE'S personality traits have been revealed - and Test Valley has come out of it rather well.
Researchers at Cambridge University created a personality map for the whole of the UK and have found residents in our borough to be rather friendly and conscientious.
How each area of Hampshire fared:
The study was based on data gathered by the BBC as part of its Big Personality Test.
Dr Jason Rentfrow, from the University of Cambridge's Department of Psychology, said: “Understanding how personality traits differ by region is more than just 'a bit of fun'.
“Geographical differences are associated with a range of economic, social and health outcomes - and hence how important resources are allocated.
“Although participants in an online test are self-selecting, the demographic characteristics are representative of the British population, so we can develop an accurate snapshot of the psychology of the nation.”
