Incumbent Republican senator Ted Cruz argued that 'removing God from the public square'
and 'losing the moral foundation of much of our society' were partly to blame for school shootings."
This claim was then challenged on Twitter:
"Ted Cruz said that school shootings take place because we removed 'God from the public square.'
Texas is 93% Christian and has a fatal school shooting every year.
Japan is 2% Christian and has never had a school shooting.
Worst theory ever.#TXSenateDebate"

Researchers divide people into 4 basic personality types

"
Average people are high in neuroticism and extraversion, while low in openness.
I would expect that the typical person would be in this cluster."
So I looked up the definition of neuroticism:
"
Individuals who score high on neuroticism are more likely than average
to be moody and to experience such feelings as ...
anxiety, worry, fear, anger, frustration, envy, jealousy, guilt, depressed mood, and loneliness."
