You Can Tell A Lot About Someone's Personality By How They Eat Fries. My theory based on observation.

in #psychology8 years ago

What's your fry-eating personality type?

I bet you didn't know you could "read" a person by watching them eat fries. It's just a theory, of course, but contemplate how you eat fries, observe your fry-eating friends, and you be the judge.

While this hypothesis is nowhere near scientific, it is based on the personalities of my friends, acquaintances and family members and my observations of them throughout the years.



Single Fry Nibbler

As a Single Fry Nibbler you eat one fry at a time in little controlled bites.

You:

  • are detail-oriented.
  • are discerning and careful - sometimes critical.
  • plan everything.
  • often worry.
  • have the tendency to be a control freak.
  • come off as being cold and calculated.
  • may show a front of being confident but are generally insecure.
  • You're afraid of getting into trouble or taking chances.

You walk the straight and narrow and expect others to do the same. If you're critical it's because they are doing it wrong. Sometimes the weight of the world is on your shoulders and you work on the things you can control and worry about the things you can't. You always put up a strong, confident, put-together front but the public will never know what a mess you really are (until you have a breakdown).

Single Fry Stuffer

As a Single Fry Stuffer you stuff that fry in your mouth and eat enthusiastically.

You:

  • are a bit of a prankster.
  • have the ability to focus but only when you need to.
  • are selective - desiring good food and company.
  • might take over a conversation.
  • have no problem being the center of attention.
  • come off as being friendly and fun.
  • are confident but a bit of a dreamer.

**You're easy-come-easy-go attitude may appear nonchalant but you sincerely care and may be overly sensitive. You generally follow the rules but you've got a tiny wild streak that may cause you to short-sheet a friend's bed or switch the sugar for salt - but you won't intentionally break any laws because the thought of jail terrifies you. Definitely a dreamer you crave the better things in life. You would drop everything for a friend in need.

Complimentary jobs for your personality:

  • DJ / Emcee
  • Comedian / Actor / Singer
  • Lemming in a cube farm
  • Nursing

Couple of Fries Chatterbox

As a Couple of Fries Chatterbox you grab a few fries but tend to get sidetracked before you eat them.

You:

  • are easygoing.
  • are easily distracted.
  • tend to talk with your hands.
  • are a good listener but you can hold your own in a conversation.
  • are relaxed and confident.
  • are never too serious.
  • may be the fair-weather friend.

Not always reliable - but you may have intentionally trained people to not call on you. It would impeded on your personal time and you've got stuff to do! You are friendly but easily bored. If you need a change you tend to change something: hair style or color, new tattoo or piercing. Maybe you just drop everything and head to the beach or amusement park.

Complimentary jobs for your personality:

  • Salesperson
  • Talk show host
  • Driver / Delivery person
  • Artist

Handful - Single Fry

As a Handful - Single Fry you grab a bunch of fries but only eat one at a time.

You:

  • are easygoing and approachable.
  • are a multi-tasker.
  • love to stay busy.
  • have many pet projects.
  • tend to be happiest if you're working.
  • have the ability to focus in the midst of chaos.
  • are just as selective as your friends as you are your fries.

You tend to keep yourself busy with work, projects, family, or party planning. Many call you friend but you tend to have a lot of acquaintances and are selective of your friends. Not elitist in any way, you go for quality first before you'd ever settle.

  • Wedding planner
  • Host / Hostess
  • Supervisor
  • Law Enforcement

Handful - Big Bite

As a Handful - Big Bite you grab a bunch of fries and take a big, healthy bite.

You:

  • are enthusiastic.
  • are generally fun to be around.
  • can be playful and fun.
  • tend to grab onto too many projects at once.
  • get easily overwhelmed.
  • make friends from all walks of life.
  • are trusting and sometimes gullible.

The type to jump before you look you grab at life, friends and fun without considering what kind of influence they may have on you in the long run. Far from calling everyone friend you are friendly to most but only keep a short list of good friends. Your happy-go-lucky demeanor could be a front so no one knows how you really feel. You hide a lot with those big bites, but it's nothing menacing. You just need to work on your self-esteem a little. You tend to take criticism hard but rebound after you've licked your wounds. Don't hold a grudge though! It will weigh you down.

Handful - Mouth Full

As a Handful - Mouth Full you grab a bunch of fries and stuff whatever you can into your hole.

You:

  • get drunk on life.
  • grab the bull by the horns and don't let go.
  • are definitely a multi-tasker - probably to the point of mania.
  • often take on much more than you can handle.
  • have many unfinished projects but would rather work on something new.
  • are easily bored.
  • tend to get side-tracked.

You grab at life just like you grab your food. You take and want more - forget about the consequences. You probably have an addictive personality or at the very least a bit of manic depression. You keep a high energy, fast paced life. Taking the time for self-reflection and relaxation are a waste of time when there is so much to do! You're ultimate goal is world domination.

Complimentary jobs for your personality:

  • Extreme Athlete
  • Small Business Owner
  • Politician

Utensils or No Fry Eater

As a Utensils or No Fry Eater you don't touch the greasy concoction.

You:

  • walk to the beat of a different drummer.
  • are eccentric, weird or odd - and you like it.
  • generally distrust people.
  • are careful not to leave prints... I mean a paper trail.
  • often go off on your own.
  • are self-guided and independent.
  • enjoy just about anything as long as there's no people involved.

Kind of a loner by your own means you have a different perspective on life. People don't matter so much to you. You have laser perception and can be quite harsh in opinion or judgement. You tend to think outside the box - actually you LIVE outside the box and jeer the world lemmings. You would rather throw yourself off a bridge than work in a cube farm. You may seek world domination in a different way - enthusiastically pushing "the button." Ah, one can dream, right?

Complimentary jobs for your personality:

  • Anything computers: Programmer / Gamer / Designer
  • Doomsday Prepper
  • Contemporary Artist
  • Funeral Director

I don't know about you, but I'm starving now!

I enjoyed reading that! I'm a utensil person who stabs several fries at a time and then takes small bites of them. Loved your observation about utensil people not liking to leave a trail - how true!

A utensil person who takes small bites...? what the hell is wrong with you?! LOL

Thank you @ontofractal - I think the linkback bot will be very helpful. What a great idea!

Wow I'm a handful single fry or single fry stuffer depending on the day... and yup it pretty much nails it. I was talking to someone yesterday about a similar theory but with telling a lot about a person by their lawn.

Oh @d3nv3r - I hope you write about the lawn theory. It sounds interesting and I've love to read it!

Thanks, I just may have to do that at some point

You are seriously one of the best bloggers on here. This was great.

p.s. I'm a single fry stuffer...with fry sauce.

Haha, more I am questioning my sanity as I flip flop between almost all of the above!!

Split personality much @meesterboom?

;)

Stuff them right on in, as fast as I can. Sometimes I try to start slowly. Doesn't work for long. Guess what I am having for lunch!

![])

There's no way I can eat fries slowly. If I try, I tend to look like a hamster shoving food in my face before I chew.

I enjoyed reading this post, but it has left me confused as how i eat fry's depends on what I'm eating, e.g. if im having a burger and fry's i will grab a bunch dip them in sauce and put them on my burger. If I'm having chicken nuggets and fry'si will take one at a time dip in sauce and eat fry in one and if im havinf just fry's i just stuff them in my mouth if i can't chew i know iv taken too many.
What does that say about me?

It seems we have a few people here who are "split personalities" LOL
I suppose it could be modified to what's going on with the day. When my boys were young, I basically fisted my food. Now I'm more of a handful - single fry kind of gal. ;)

I think that is common practices for parents of young children shove a fist full of food in the General direction of your face while passing the plate on way to clean up what ever goop has just seeped out of your child while simultaneously comforting said child and trying desperately to restore some sort of order to what was once your home.
It's so nice when you can eat like a human being again

I remember those days when my hot meals were cold - or my cold meals warm by the time I got to them. Or shoving fast food down my throat on my way to a miserable job because I knew once I got there I'd have no breaks. It's a hard habit to break.

You will be always starving such tasty posts)))

I'm a big fan of food. Sadly, this was based off observations of other people eating food! WAH! lol

Haha This is fantastic! What if someone squirts ketchup on top of their fries, instead dipping their fries in the ketchup? That's just wrong.

I might say they have psychopathic tendencies! LOL

YES THANK YOU! lol

I've seen people do it with mayo as well. Animals. Animals, I tell you!!!

Those people need to be put on an island and keep to themselves. Oh, wait... they're already there. People of England, I love you.

Funny thing about ketchup... it's spelled too many ways... And I'm also told there's an unwritten rule that catsup is not allowed on your hot dogs once you're past the age of 11. LOL

What about the Netherlands? They looked funny at me at the restaurant when I asked for ketchup.

Haha that is totally what it is

Haha In the northwestern part of the U.S., people make fry sauce from ketchup, mayo and horseradish and it is delicious.
But just mayo?....gross.

That's an interesting mix of ingredients...kind of like the stepchild of 1000 Island dressing and cocktail sauce.

hmm I don't fit any of these, I'm a burger stuffer, fries get dipped in sauce and put inside the bun with my burger and then get happily chomped.

GURL - you have issues. Everyone knows you put potato chips on your burgers!
I'll keep you anyway. LOL
