Here's a map of my results:

Believe it or not, my best fit was Minnesota (100%).

[Hatman 🍁]

1) Vermont (100%). No surprise I got my favourite state.

Last place was South Carolina. Interesting.

[angus]

[Snowstalker Mk. II]

New York is my best fit with 100%, Arkansas my worst with 13%.

Not too bad, but it fails to account for the massive differences within states like California or Texas or New York.

[Consciously Unconscious]

I got Virginia.  Arkansas was my worst.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

I got Virginia.  Arkansas was my worst.

I think Arkansas is going to be everyone's worst.

[TDAS04]

My best was Washington with 100%.  Massachusetts, Maryland, and New Jersey were also at least 90%.  Tennessee was my worst, with 37%.

[free my dawg]

Oregon is my best fit at 100%, followed by Vermont (98) and Washington/NJ (97). NH was 8th, Pennsylvania was 15th. Worst fit was Mississippi (40)

[DemPGH]

California 100%, Washington 91%. Interestingly, Vermont was 79%. I told it I HATE snow and cold, so I must be a pretty good match for Vermont.

Sunshine, warm, dry, non-religious, fit and active, liberal, educated, healthy were my criteria.

The southeastern states were all at the bottom, unsurprisingly. 

[windjammer]

Oregon is my best fit at 100%, followed by Vermont (98) and Washington/NJ (97). NH was 8th, Pennsylvania was 15th. Worst fit was Mississippi (40)

I'm not surprised at all

[traininthedistance]

In a shocker, Maryland beat out Massachusetts for my #1.  Joisey was #3.  The top 9 were all Northeastern, the bottom handful all Southern, with Mississippi dead last.

[TDAS04]

Interesting that New Jersey is doing so well for many posters, considering that a majority voted it an HS.

[Oak Hills]

Best state was Maryland (100%). Worst was a tie between Indiana and Michigan (31%). Tennessee, my state of residence, was tied for third-to-last with Nevada at 33%. Rhode Island, my state of birth, was twelfth with 70%. The biggest surprises are that the Deep South beat the Upper South and that the Upper Midwest fared so poorly, especially Wisconsin.

[Donerail]

Virginia wins with 100%, followed by North Dakota, then Florida, South Carolina, and Georgia. Nevada is my lowest (20%), then Michigan, then New York.

[Flake]

Sorry...Delaware?

[JerryArkansas]

My top 10

1.    New Hampshire (100%)                
2.    Virginia (95%)                
3.    Colorado (91%)                
4.    Ohio (91%)                
5.    South Dakota (87%)                
6.    Missouri (87%)                
7.    Utah (86%)                
8.    Connecticut (85%)                
9.    Iowa (82%)                
10.    Pennsylvania (82%)

[Хahar 🤔]

Top 5:

1.    California (100%)                     
2.    Washington (93%)                     
3.    Oregon (92%)                     
4.    Hawaii (91%)                     
5.    Maryland (82%)

Not surprising, although I was very pleased that Maryland ranked so high.

[SUSAN CRUSHBONE]

1.   Connecticut (100%)                 
2.   Massachusetts (92%)                 
3.   Oregon (92%)

Bottom 5:
47. Wisconsin (52%)
48. Indiana (50%)
49. Idaho (47%)
50. Illinois (45%)
51. District of Columbia (36%)

Since I prefer very warm climates, this isn't too surprising.
