What Does Your Ice Cream Say About You?

National Ice Cream Day was Sunday, and Patch got the scoop on what your favorite flavor says about you.

A study conducted by Allan Hirsch, who founded the Smell & Taste Treatment and Research Foundation, identified correlations between an individual’s personality and favorite ice cream flavor.

Baskin-Robbins teamed up with the research foundation for the study, in which participants completed standardized comprehensive psychiatric and personality tests.

The results were statistically correlated with ice cream hedonics, or how ice cream preferences are related to what an individual finds pleasurable.

Here’s a sampling of the results:

• If your favorite flavor is Vanilla, you’re more likely to be impulsive, easily suggestible and an idealist.
• If your favorite flavor is Chocolate, you’re more likely to be dramatic, lively, charming, flirtatious, seductive and gullible.
• If your favorite flavor is Strawberry, you’re more likely to be a tolerant, devoted and an introvert.
• If your favorite flavor is Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, you’re more likely to be ambitious, competitive and a visionary.
• If your favorite flavor is Jamoca (Coffee), you’re more likely to be scrupulous, conscientious and a moral perfectionist.
• If your favorite flavor is Rainbow Sherbet, you’re more likely to be analytic, decisive and a pessimistic.
