	This isn't meant to offend anyone, it's just for fun. If you have any suggestions for better stereotypes or ways to make the quiz better overall, I'm open to them.

	formicbean:	May 19th, 2010 at 04:35 GMT	16 points
	Many of these could apply to several states, at least from my point of view. Maybe cut it down so you don't describe all of the states and you have just a few distinctive ones? (e.g. use "cowboys, oil, republicans" but not "cold, desolate, uninhabited," which applies to most of the country)

	I must admit, some of these were quite amusing. I didn't know that Missouri was known for bluegrass(??). Hopefully won't be taken too seriously...unless you're from West Virginia. Great quiz, enjoyed it very much!!

	good quiz, and great idea, but i don't know, it just seems like a lot of these aren't stereotypes. Certainly some of them are (the descriptions for West Virginia or Ohio for instance, are great stereotypes). Others though, like Maine or parts of many others, aren't stereotypes. they're just stuff that's associated withthe state. Like, skyscrapers really are a part of New York, just as Alaska is cold, Arizona's hot, Colorado has mountains, Iowa has corn and Georgia has peaches. I like formicbean's idea of only doing some states rather than all.

	i didnt realize pennsylvania had ugly people haha, i guess i am ugly?

	France:	May 19th, 2010 at 05:00 GMT	2 points
	You're right fatbeard, I think I'll only do some, as it was incredibly difficult to come up with stereotypes for places like Iowa, North Dakota and Kansas. Although Stereotypes are often things associated with states. For example, not all of Alaska is cold or desolate, not everyone in Georgia eats peaches etc...

	France:	May 19th, 2010 at 05:06 GMT	-1 points
	kinga, obviously not everyone from Pennsylvania is ugly.

	cardspartan:	May 19th, 2010 at 05:27 GMT	5 points
	haha I new Illinois the moment I saw corruption. However, the other two really just describe Chicago.

	bizzlebiz13:	May 19th, 2010 at 05:32 GMT	1 point
	Ohio was not the first state I thought of when I saw "crazy sports fans". It appears that I wasn't alone seeing that it is the least guessed state. Passionate seems to fit them better (at least for Cleveland).

	Esme:	May 19th, 2010 at 05:37 GMT	18 points
	Okay, this is going to get me seriously voted down by my dear almost-neighbors from the Granite State, but is New Hampshire really stereotyped as being particularly educated? I'm certainly not saying they're dumb – I just don't know why they'd be the one on this list to get that moniker. It's not a stereotype even those of us from New England tend to automatically attach to New Hampshire, so I don't know why it would be widespread nationally. I'd replace that with something like "libertarian," especially since the "Live Free or Die" slogan is so connected to the state.

	boboanderson:	May 19th, 2010 at 05:53 GMT	2 points
	It is depressing to be a crazy sports fan in Ohio.

	France:	May 19th, 2010 at 06:02 GMT	1 point
	I can't think of any other stereotypes for Ohio. Any ideas?

	cavsfan:	May 19th, 2010 at 06:44 GMT	1 point
	I agree with bizzllebiz that passionate is a better word choice because even though ohio doesnt have the craziest fans ohio probably has the most passionate as a state with Columbus(buckeye fans) Cleveland(Browns fans who lost a franchise, Indians fans who sold out their stadium 755 games in a row, and cavs fans) and cincy(reds and bengals fans)

	Gjarble:	May 19th, 2010 at 06:45 GMT	7 points
	I'd say a lot of these seem to be stereotypes of the Deep South in general rather than any particular state there... at least from a New Englander's view. Also, I think people would get Iowa if you just put "Corn, Corn, Corn" (the "More Corn" for Indiana would make more sense in that context, too).

	France:	May 19th, 2010 at 07:22 GMT	1 point
	Gjarble, that's a hilarious idea. I've removed a lot of states like North Dakota and Kansas, simply because there weren't any stereotypes I could use for them without repeating myself.

	teffty24:	May 19th, 2010 at 07:38 GMT	9 points
	Hey now we have more than corn. We have wrestling, and corn.

	You might wanna add shallow and full of themselves to California.

	OK, some of these aren't stereotypes. Lebron James? Thats a person!

	Etheridge2:	May 19th, 2010 at 12:47 GMT	1 point
	Something very similar to this was done, it is a fun idea so long as people take it in the vane it is meant, but as has been said many of your clues are too broad and could be applied to several states, in particular all the hillbilly, hick, uneducated clues.

	Prozy:	May 19th, 2010 at 13:44 GMT	0 points
	Fun quiz- I'm from Indiana and it's pretty spot on, although racing would be a good one.

	a lot of them are stereotypes for cities

It seems all the southern states could all work for each others clues...I think Beer would be alot better choice then flannel for wisconsin

	oh and california might be a little too nice

	pita:	May 19th, 2010 at 14:49 GMT	6 points
	Mississippi is known for alligators? Really? Funny accents, mosquitos and cold, I thought sure you just misspelled Maine. Likewise I figured Maine had to be the 11th province. This really wasn't a very good quiz, not even getting into the offensive stereotypes.

	nolubba1037:	May 19th, 2010 at 15:14 GMT	7 points
	for iowa, i don't think corn. for iowa you should mention like hawkeyes or somethin. when you say CORN, CORN, CORN, i think nebraska because they are the CORNHUSKERS. know what i'm saying? also, are there mosquitoes in minnesota? i think you could put lakes there instead

	mireed20:	May 19th, 2010 at 16:13 GMT	1 point
	Ya nothing really about south dakota, and i wonder where this guy is from? Beautiful people are you serious?

	glanzerr:	May 19th, 2010 at 16:26 GMT	2 points
	I'm from South Dakota and I can't think of any good stereotypes except maybe Kevin Costner movies, giant carvings of famous people, corn palaces, free ice water... I don't know.

	MisterF:	May 19th, 2010 at 16:53 GMT	3 points
	nolubba1037: Yes, there are a lot of mosquitoes in Minnesota during the summer. There are so many Minnesotan stereotypes that it's hard to pick just three.

	eja82:	May 19th, 2010 at 16:55 GMT	3 points
	Great quiz! I think California got off a little too easy though. How about keeping one of the good things and adding something like earthquakes/smog/celebrity governators etc instead.

	"Rich, Preppy, Lots of White People" was the hardest one. There are other states I think of first when I think of white people.

	The:	May 19th, 2010 at 17:38 GMT	2 points
	Rich, Preppy, White People applies to Maryland as well (excluding PG County and West Baltimore of course). And nomuny12 I think Napoleon Dynamite was from Idaho...

	@The-kind of reminiscent of a quiz i made, but i dont mind, this one was pretty entertaining.maybe a stereotype for north dakota could be "NOTHING." who really knows anything about north dakota except for the fact that its flat?

	room2704:	May 19th, 2010 at 18:16 GMT	-2 points
	Got all of them with 2 minutes to spare, don't know what that says about me :)

	The rhode island stereotypes all apply to maryland, and md probably has way worse drivers too

	Rifsun:	May 19th, 2010 at 18:32 GMT	2 points
	Found myself answering city names a lot of the time since the stereotypes often fit only a certain city. Then again, it is the common conception that Illinois is just Chicago, New York is just New York City, Louisiana is just New Orleans etc. so I guess it all works out in the end.

	Corn Corn Corn isn't Nebraska?

	alanna82:	May 19th, 2010 at 18:48 GMT	7 points
	Corn corn corn should be Nebraska (I know, I live here, and people ask me if we have stuff other than corn), and Basketball, More Corn and Soybeans should be Kansas, not Indiana, and mention Racing for Indiana.
