What Your Ice Cream Choice Says About Your Personality

What Your Ice Cream Choice Says About Your Personality

Did you know that your ice cream preferences can reveal something about your personality? Here at Baskin-Robbins, we have partnered with Juliet A. Boghossian, a behavioral food expert and founder of Food-ology, You Are How You Eat, to conduct a study revealing “What Your Ice Cream Eating Preferences Say About You.”

This study identifies personality traits based on how a person chooses to eat their ice cream. For instance, people who prefer their ice cream on a cone are more often to be optimists, while those who enjoy their scoop in a cup are more often realists. See what your ice cream choice says about your personality below!

The Optimist: People who prefer eating ice cream on a cone are idealists who lead with their heart.

  • Those who chose a sugar cone are considered the life of the party and are funny, edgy and performers. 
  • Those who favor a waffle cone tend to be the host of the party, more traditional and nurturing caregivers.

Despite these differences, however, they both share the same core values: passion, peace, and purpose. The top ice cream flavors among Optimists are Cookies ‘n Cream and Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough.
