The Ice Cream Personality Test

A national manufacturer of ice cream, Edy's Grand Ice Cream, commissioned an ice cream flavorology study to determine how ice cream preferences relate to personality.

The study, conducted by author Alan R. Hirsch, M.D., revealed that distinct personalities correspond with ice cream flavors.

According to the official taster for Edy's Grand Ice Cream, the flavorology research is fun "food for thought" to discuss around the break-room table. Before serving dessert, ask your co-workers to name their favorite ice cream flavor, and then give them the scoop on their personality.

Instructions:
Pick your favorite ice cream flavor from the list below and find out what it says about your personality.

The Flavor List:

• Vanilla
• Chocolate
• Butter Pecan
• Banana
• Strawberry
• Chocolate Chip
