As I mentioned in the post, the 'Anywheres' - 'Somewheres' distinction seems to map closely to Jonathan Haidt's liberal-conservative dimension in Moral Values space: Haidt is on record as speculating that Moral Values attributes are c. 50% heritable like most psychological traits.<br /><br />More speculatively, I'd map liberals predominantly to the Myers-Briggs/Keirsey NF/Idealist temperament. NT Rationals tend to the libertarian while S (sensor) types are often more Haidt-conservative. N is really 'Openness to Experience' - which correlates reasonably with IQ.Nigel Seelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17960803873815821524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18648436.post-28852232913987071632017-05-21T15:42:29.763+01:002017-05-21T15:42:29.763+01:00This binary distinction "Somewheres" vs ...This binary distinction "Somewheres" vs "Anywheres" appears elsewhere too. As an example just as Parliament has Committees which take expert evidence, so does the EU Parliament, which recently interviewed one of its own (sociology?) professors on Brexit issues.<br /><br />Mention was made of the distinction between two types of EU Citizens: "mobiles" and "non-mobiles". The latter are only interested in the world immediately around them. The view was that the non-mobiles were not seeing the benefits of the EU.<br /><br />So one question is what else does this binary distinction correlate to : is it just "education", or "location type", or "Internet access", or "job type", or Myers-Briggs type, etc?<br />Royhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17844610890344836500noreply@blogger.com
