English term or phrase: Missouri's famed "show me" trait
si tratta di un articolo di giornale e in questo punto si sta presentanto il personaggio chiave dell'articolo e si dice:
**XXX may hail from Chicago, but she definitely has Missouri's famed "show me" trait**
mi aiutate a capire il senso di questa frase?!
Io per il momento ho azzardato questa traduzione
**XXX potrà anche venire da Chicago, ma è indubbio che possiede la celebre caratteristica del Missouri: "se non vedo non credo".**
ma è proprio solo una supposizione ....
grazie

Reference: Why Is Missouri Called the "Show-Me" State?

Reference information:

...However the slogan originated, it has since passed into a different meaning entirely, and is now used to indicate the stalwart, conservative, noncredulous character of Missourians.
