Your Personality According to Ice Cream
Did you know that your ice cream flavor of choice says even more about you than it does about the ice cream? You might be thinking “how can that be? Surely wacky flavored ice cream says more about...the flavor itself than about those who consume it!” But that doesn’t seem to be the case. Dr. Alan Hirsch of the Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation even conducted a study, to determine how a person’s ice cream flavor of choice reflected their personality traits.
When presented with numerous ice cream flavor options, the one that you choose actually says a lot about who you are as a person, especially when it comes to your absolute, all-time favorite flavor. What will you pick? Choose wisely, and then read on to find out how your choice may in fact be indicative of your personality!
Vanilla
If you chose vanilla, you’re actually anything but vanilla! Those who chose vanilla in Hirsch’s study were shown to be more impulsive, easily suggestible, and idealistic, of all things. It's an interesting combination of traits, to be sure, and anything but boring as some might suspect.
Strawberry
Those who favor strawberry were found in Hirsch’s study to be tolerant, devoted, and even introverted. Lovers of strawberry ice cream are the type to be passionate about those they care about and perhaps happiest when their nose is buried deep in a good book!
Chocolate
If you’re a fan of chocolate ice cream, than you are more likely to be flirtatious and seductive, according to Hirsch. Along with those character traits, Hirsch found chocolate lovers to be dramatic, lively, and charming. It seems like those who like chocolate ice cream are likely to have a variety of fun and outgoing personality traits, perhaps making them the life of the party!
Mint Chocolate Chip
Apparently, mint chocolate chip lovers can be a bit argumentative. According to Hirsch, though, they can also be frugal and cautious. Quite an interesting combination of personality traits that could perhaps be said to balance each other out and make for a great personality profile.
Chocolate Chip
People who like chocolate chip ice cream in Hirsch’s research were generous and competent. Lovers of this classic combination of both chocolate and vanilla were also found to be go-getters. The bits of chocolate in their ice cream put a bit of pep in their step, we suppose!
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
The final flavor Hirsch studied was chocolate chip cookie dough, a well-loved favorite to be certain. Those who chose chocolate chip cookie dough as their favorite ice cream flavor were found more likely to be ambitious and competitive. While these traits might sound like a recipe for success, but also a few bumps in the road, lovers of chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream were also found to be visionaries—a nice trait to balance out their competitive tendencies.
