Don't peek! Are you ready to learn about your personality? 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 Dr. Alan R. Hirsch (MD), Neurological Director of the Smell & Taste Treatment and Research Foundation in Chicago, revealed that distinct personalities correspond with ice cream flavors.
If you like vanilla, you are colorful, impulsive, a risk taker who sets high goals and has high expectations of yourself. You also enjoy close family relationships. (see detailed vanilla traits)
If you like chocolate, you are lively, creative, dramatic, charming, enthusiastic, and the life of the party. Chocolate fans enjoy being at the center of attention and can become bored with the usual routine.
If you like butter pecan, you are orderly, a perfectionist, careful, detail-oriented, conscientious, ethical, and fiscally conservative. You are also competitive, aggressive in sports, and the take-charge type of personality.
If you like banana, you are easy going, well adjusted, generous, honest and empathetic.
If you like strawberry, you are shy, yet emotionally robust, skeptical, detail oriented, opinionated, introverted, and self critical.
If you like chocolate chip, you are generous, competitive, and accomplished. You are charming in social situations, ambitious, and competent.

OAKLAND, Calif., June 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- If you're a vanilla ice cream lover and have a meltdown every time someone calls your favorite flavor plain or humdrum, take heart. Experts say there is more to vanilla than meets the taste buds. In fact, the vanilla family includes a wide variety of flavors -- from French Vanilla to Vanilla Bean and everything in between. Although vanilla often receives an unfair rap for being ordinary, it might surprise people to know that vanilla ice cream is consistently the top selling ice cream flavor across America. According to a new "Vanilla-ology" study conducted for Dreyer's Grand Ice Cream by the Smell & Taste Treatment and Research Foundation in Chicago, the type of vanilla you crave can reveal some interesting insights into your personality and potential romantic compatibility.
Below are a few of the sweetest highlights from the study:
Is Vanilla your flavor of choice? Dapper and debonair, those who prefer Vanilla ice cream are natural actors who enjoy being the center of attention. These free spirited entertainers react to the slightest challenge with a dramatic flair and exaggerated expression of emotion. Seductive and sensually provocative, they crave novelty in all their pursuits -- in business, leisure and relationships. Those who like their vanilla straight up share a lot in common with Edie Brit in Desperate Housewives or mega superstar Lenny Kravitz. Vanilla ice cream lovers are most compatible with others who also prefer Vanilla.
Vanilla Bean lovers, on the other hand, tend to be real go-getters. The Vanilla Bean lover is detail oriented and conscientious almost to a fault. While their devotion makes them the perfect employee, their love life may suffer if they're not mindful of the balance in their life. They are the "take charge" sort of people who hold strong opinions as to how things should be done. Ethical, moral and of the highest integrity, Vanilla Bean lovers have a clear sense of right and wrong. Vanilla Bean aficionados bring to mind personalities similar to Monica from Friends or Alan from Two and a Half Men. Vanilla Bean lovers are most romantically compatible with those who prefer either Vanilla or Vanilla Bean ice cream.
People who opt for Double Vanilla, a new flavor that offers a more intense vanilla kick than any of the other vanillas, are agreeable, easy-going and well-adjusted. Patient, understanding and empathetic, the Double Vanilla lover is the perfect spouse, parent and friend. They truly care about the feelings of others above their own. As an occupation, they would make an ideal teacher, psychiatrist, coworker or any sort of supervisor. In any capacity, they are a pleasure to be around. Sun Kwon on Lost and Dr. John Carter from ER have nothing on Double Vanilla fans. Those who prefer Double Vanilla are the universal romantic, compatible with everyone.
People who prefer French Vanilla, a rich vanilla ice cream with a hint of egg, are team players who work behind the scenes to do the work it takes for the group to succeed, without craving the spotlight or attention of center stage. The French Vanilla lover is a loving and supportive spouse who functions best in familiar, safe and secure relationships. They don't crave novelty in either romantic or nonromantic social relationships. Extremely and admirably humble, French Vanilla lovers tend to avoid the spotlight and work best within group settings. A French Vanilla purist might evoke Bree Vandekamp from Desperate Housewives or beloved baseball player, Cal Ripkin. Those who prefer French Vanilla are most romantically compatible with others who also prefer French Vanilla.
