Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79093602 Using an algorithm, researchers at the University of Cambridge found those living in mountainous areas have distinct blend of traits that fits with 'frontier settlement theory'. These individuals tend to be less trusting and forgiving, traits known to benefit territorial, self-focused survival strategies that helped early settlers survive the unknown and rugged terrain. Although living in mountainous regions is a meaningful predictor of this personality type, researchers found those living to the east along the Appalachian Mountains were more agreeable and outgoing compared to their western counterparts.
