LONDON: The kind of chocolates that you nibble at reveal your personality, a study shows.
A poll by Woolworths that involved a thousand people choosing their favourite shapes and flavours in chocolates revealed that while quiet people loved coconut chocolates, sociable and popular people preferred fudgy ones.
"The most striking finding was that life and soul of the party types preferred very sweet centres and shy people opted for bitter-sweet ones," The Mirror quoted Abigail Millings, a psychologist from East Anglia University as saying.
Personality traits listed according to chocolate types in the study were:
Nuts : Laid back but methodical, tend to think first then act. Can be introverts.
Coconut : Perfectionists and thinkers. Quiet.
Coffee : Thoughtful but tend to let others make decisions.
Fudge : Act first, think later. Easy going at work. Sociable and popular.
Shapes were also considered decisive of traits; while sociable people opted for circles and diamonds, relaxed types chose to eat oval ones and the shy preferred rectangle chocolates.
