-Personality Changes with Age (Physical Activity and Obesity)
I've been crunching a lot of the data from the Global Advanced Personality Test of late. This is the first article in a series on the personality traits and/or physical traits that apparently show change as we age. Due to the limits of my sample set, I'm limiting myself to the 15-44 age period. That's where most of my data lies as that's the main demographic of this website. I do have data from older people but not enough for statistically valid results (as yet). The sample sizes range from 400 - 2000 per gender per age year for a total sample size of close to 100,000. I'll try to cover one or two (usually related) traits per article. The X axis is age. The Y axis is the raw scoring average of test takers.

Apparently, less physical activity leads to obesity. Not a big discovery here, but a useful reminder. I'll add that for all test takers there is a -.212* correlation with Physical Activity/Fitness trait and self rating as overweight. There's also a .156* correlation between Emotional Stability and the Physical Activity/Fitness trait. I'll let the Cleveland Clinic take over from here - recommended exercise.
