Food quizzes tests your sex appetite

Wednesday, February 14, 2001

Sexual personality food/scent quiz

FOR MEN
Do you prefer:
1) Cranberries, chocolate and pink grapefruit
OR
2) Pumpkin pie, doughnuts and black licorice

If you picked the first group, you tend to think about sex much of the time. You're sexually expressive if you're in balance, but if you aren't, you tend to be sexually aggressive. You are a people person and you like close, intimate relationships. But, you could be considered domineering, too, unless you temper that side of your personality.

If you picked the second group, you tend to be sexually reserved and perhaps more interested in other parts of your life. You may be contemplative and thoughtful, but you enjoy group activities, too. You may be involved in some sports, and you value male friendships. You express your feelings to men easily, but fear of rejection tends to make you more reserved and even somewhat fearful around women.

FOR WOMEN

Which do you prefer:
1) Good & Plenty and banana-nut bread?
OR
2) Pumpkin pie and cherries?

If you prefer the candy and banana-nut bread, you tend to escape into sexual and romantic fantasies. You enjoy physical contact and tend to be a sensitive person who enjoys self-discovery. You tend to be inquisitive.

If you prefer the second group, you tend to be more conservative and you see things in terms of black and white -- something is either wrong or right. You're a realist in relationships.

Chocolate texture and personality

ASK YOURSELF: If someone gave you a chocolate Easter egg, would you bite into it with the hope that it's solid or hollow?

WHAT YOUR ANSWER MEANS: If you prefer the hollow bar, you like sudden thrills, and you are likely to enjoy adventure and seek experiences that challenge you -- mountain climbers are probably hollow-egg personalities. These individuals tend to be on the impatient side, at least in terms of everyday activities, and they might be dissatisfied with their current lives.

If you prefer the solid egg, you tend to be risk-aversive -- and you're willing to experience your pleasures more slowly. You are probably satisfied with your current life and tend to like things to be predictable, and you're faithful and loyal to family and friends. However, you may settle for less in what you set out to accomplish.


ASK YOURSELF: Which do you prefer? (Choose one from each pair)
Milk chocolate or dark chocolate
Malted milk balls or Milk Duds
Grapes or raisins
Plums or prunes
Apple pie or rhubarb pie

WHAT YOUR ANSWER MEANS: If you prefer four or more of the first items, you tend to be a contemplative, quiet person and probably consider yourself an introvert. You are more likely to pursue a solitary sport, such as running or cycling, and you enjoy working alone. You may enjoy spending time in nature. These individuals may be good computer programmers or may enjoy researching topics on the Internet.

If you prefer four or more of the second items, you tend to be an extrovert, an outgoing person who enjoys others and feels comfortable in social situations or working in large offices. You like to work on projects in a group, and if you pursue a sport, it is probably a group activity such as bowling, volleyball, or softball. You may like to join others for a walking trip or tour abroad. These individuals may like working in a retail environment or as a team leader in an office.
