Britain's friendliest people

Post by Chris »

Scots have been voted the most 'agreeable' people in the UK
The Scots have been voted the most 'agreeable' in Britain, a new survey shows.

An online survey revealed the significant personality differences that can be seen between people of different regions of the UK.

The research, conducted by Cambridge University, suggests that those in the North of England and Scotland were found to be more agreeable and cooperative than their southern counterparts, the Telegraph reports.

Residents of big cities like London and Manchester were deemed to be the most energetic and social traits which come under the overall heading of 'extraversion'.

What may not surprise most people is that Londoners were found to be uncooperative, irritable and the least welcoming, having said that, the residents of the capital were also judged to be the most opened minded and ready to try new things.

The prize for shiest and most introverted was awarded to the Welsh and also parts of the Midlands.

Historic cities, Oxford and Cambridge, along with London, Brighton Manchester, Bristol and Glasgow were commended for their openness, the Metro reports.

The study was conducted as part of the Big Personality Test which surveyed 400,000 Brits.

The conditions of the test asked participants to judge their own openness, extraversion and emotional stability, the Telegraph reports.

Dr Jason Rentfrew, from Cambridge University's psychology department, 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."

He added: "The demographic characteristics are representative of the British population, so we can develop an accurate snapshot of the psychology of the nation.

Always found Northerners more friendly than Southerners,Southerners esp In London seem to be always rushing about
I have greatest respect for Rugby Union, they started it mid-way through the 19th century. Thankfully we grabbed it and turned it into a spectacle on 29th August 1895

They couldn't have asked any football fans, or anyone who has been in the vicinity of a football match.

All very un-agreeable.
