London: Now you can discover your inner personality traits with the help your favorite pizza, claims a new study.
World-renowned Smell and Taste expert Dr Alan Hirsch had teamed up with PizzaExpress to categorize what the pizza toppings suggested about a person’s personality.
The report looked at eight pizzas and found that pepperoni lovers, like Prince Harry, are really extrovert but get bored easily, while people who like pizzas topped with an egg, like Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg, are loving and supportive but avoid spotlight.
To analyze the pizza personalities, 500 British participants were tested on comprehensive range of psychiatric and personality questions. Dr Hirsch had used a bespoke form of ‘ Pizza Rorschach’ testing, like the inkblot tests which are used to decode character traits.
Dr Hirsch said that Sigmund Freud had long discovered that personality dictated what kind of food a person liked, like if someone preferred spicy food, they were most likely to be risk-takers, whereas people who preferred protein in their meal were often more outgoing.
The study also revealed the compatibility between different pizza personalities, saying that the lover of a chicken topped pizza, whose personality was competitive, driven and assertive like tennis ace Andy Murray , was well matched with a principled and intelligent partner, who would most likely choose prawns or salmon as a topping.
