Junk Food Reveals Your Personality

If I eat pretzels, does that really mean I'm a flirt? Dr. Alan Hirsch from the Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation in Chicago says so. He conducts research into a branch of psychology called "hedonics," which deals with pleasant and unpleasant feelings.

Hirsch conducted an eight-year study with 800 volunteers and claims the results show that people's snack food preferences reveal their personality type, reports the CBS News "Early Show." (Yes, you may laugh, but Hirsch is serious about this.)

He says the link between food preferences and personality is much like a Rorschach ink blot test long used by psychologists for insight into personality.

This is the true meaning of all that junk food you eat:

* Pretzels mean you're a flirt and you're very lively and energetic.
* Cheese curls mean you have great integrity and maintain a high moral ground.
* Potato chips mean you are aggressive, a real go-getter who will not take no for an answer.
* Tortilla chips mean you're a perfectionist. An "A" is not good enough for you. It has to be an "A+."
* Beef jerky means you're the life of the party. You're outgoing and gregarious.

Sandy,

  Interesting though.  Thanks.

  What about chocholate?  I eat none of the following junk food on a regular basis, except chochoalte, which I do not consider as junk food, and that reminds me I do have chochoalte.  <leaves room to get some.>

  Sincerely,

I can't believe they spent eight years studying this.  ::)

I wonder how much money the government gave them for it?  :-\

I don't eat beef jerky. It taste alright, but its so tough I can't chew it up.  :D

As for the rest, I only eat them with meals. If I have a hamburger, I sometimes have Potato chips
with it. Or if I make some Bean or Taco dip, I use tortilla chips to scoop up the dip with, and I use
cheese on and with all kinds of foods.

Anne, I loooooove chocolate too. I can do all kinds of things with chocolate  :o I put it in my
oatmeal (after its cooked), it taste like chocolate pudding. I put powered coco in my yogurt.
Pina Colada is the best, but its good in other flavors too  ;D And have you ever had chocolate
gravy?  :o  ;D

Iris,

  I have not tried chocholate gravy, but I will try it as soon as opportunity presents itself.  Lovely idea.  I like the chocholate in my oatmeal though.

  Sincerely,

PKnowler:

Ok, what I want to know is if they were doing a hedonistic study then why is Chocolate not on the list?
None of the things listed tempt me. Like Iris I may eat them with a meal but not usually for a snack. Ok I eat
beef jerky sometimes aside from a meal.

Iris and Anne I think you are taking this hedonistic thing to far! Chocolate in your oatmeal?
Iris you put chocolate in your Pina Coloda yogurt? Surely that's a crime in the tropics!
Chocolate gravy, what would you put that on? I'm afraid to ask! ha ha

Interesting Sandy, Thanks!
